Haven of Hope International (HOHI) serves orphans in Bolivia, Peru, Tanzania, Kenya, Trinidad, Florida Youth Ranch, and Uganda. Emma’s family visited HOHI’s flagship Bolivian Orphanage in 2019, where Emma built a strong connection with the children.

In Emma’s honor, the Emma’s Echo Internship Center was completed in 2021. The on-campus center is used as a home for college interns seeking Psychology and Social Work degrees that desire to use their education to help orphaned children. The first interns arrived on campus in January 2023.

Today, Emma’s Echo continues to partner with HOHI to train directors of orphanages in Uganda in trauma-informed care, rescuing children from severely traumatizing life situations, and enabling them to cope and heal fully.
