Oasis Hospital in Kenya
Hope for Tomorrow is involved in financially supporting the Oasis Hospital in Mombasa area, eastern Kenya. One of the main services of the hospital is maternity care and safe delivery of babies for vulnerable women. Oasis Hospital has grown from a small clinic to a hospital where children and adults who suffer from all kinds of diseases are helped. The hospital also provides HIV/AIDS counseling and care.
Work among families in need
Hope for Tomorrow supports work among poor families in Nakuru, western part of Kenya. The church called Jesus Celebration Center, JCC gives packages of food to families as well as sharing the gospel with them. This way the families experience God’s love, and the church prevents children to be sent to beg on the streets. Hope for Tomorrow also supports Sunday school work for children of JCC church.
Primary school in Uganda
Hope for Tomorrow assists in funding an active primary school in slum area of Kampala, Uganda. The children come from families in need and many have lost one or both parents. At the school students are provided with good teaching, education, meals and support.
Bethany Children’s home in India
Hope for Tomorrow sponsors the Bethany Children’s home in southern India, Vijayawada. The Indian social workers send girls to the Bethany home who are vulnerable or have lost one or both parents. The children’s home provides them good education and a loving home.
New focus for work in Finland
The situation of children and young people in Finland has become a focus of Hope for Tomorrow – Toivoa huomiseen organization attention. Hope for Tomorrow has supported Christian education and teaching abroad throughout its activities in Kenya, Uganda and India and we continue to support it. God has shown us that at this time children and young people in Finland also need Bible-based teaching and safe learning environment at schools. Executive Director Outi Välimaa described that every news in media about violence at schools in Finland has been like “a blow to her own heart”.
We have prayed about what Hope for Tomorrow could do for children and young people in Finland.
The answer we have received so far is that Hope for Tomorrow has sent two teachers to serve at Suur-Helsinki Christian school, where our coordinator Elsa Ros Ragnarsdottir – Välimaa and Outi Välimaa teach. Outi works as a substitute teacher on Fridays, Elsa teaches English at the primary school for three days a week as sent and sponsored by Hope for Tomorrow.
Among future plans are to organize Christian children's events in Finland. This is a prayer request. You can become part of the work in Finland by supporting Hope for Tomorrow employees account with worker’s reference FI22 1159 3000 1047 12 ref 330.

In Memoriam
Elvi Mustikka went to India for missionary work in the early 1980s, supported by a private circle of friends. A wedding dress and wedding shoes were packed in the suitcase, because Elvi had received a promise from God that she would get married during her mission trip. This really happened because Elvi married an Indian pastor Peter Singh after serving in India for a few years. In 1989, Elvi and Peter founded the Bethany Children's orphanage in the city of Vijayawada in southern India, where there is also a church. The children's home has been supported by a group of Finnish friends of Elvi's work. In 1998, Elvi’s and Peter's family got a sweet Indian girl named Ruth. The family regularly went to Finland on preaching trips and to meet sponsors. Ruth was always with them and she was loved by Finns, because she had learned from Elvi to speak fluent Finnish in addition to Indian languages.
Elvi is remembered as a faithful servant of God and a prayerful person. Many Indians as well as Finns have received help through her prayers. Elvi Singh Ganta's work and sponsors have been under Hope for Tomorrow - Toivoa huomiseen NGO since 2014. We remember Elvi with gratitude and love. She is missed by a large group of friends in Finland and India, as well as her adult daughter Ruth. Gospel of John 14.1-4
