SWEET SLEEP

MISSION

Sweet Sleep exists to demonstrate God’s love and hope in Christ to the world’s orphaned and vulnerable children, improving their quality of life. 

HISTORY

Founded in 2003, Sweet Sleep has provided beds to more than 32,000 children and has empowered more than 1000 vulnerable women to nourish, clothe, and educate their young. They have served in Moldova, Uganda, Ethiopia, Haiti, South Africa, Russia, Rwanda, Sierra Leone, Nigeria, and the United States. 

Sweet Sleep believes that God’s love is what cultivates true resilience and strength in the face of adversity. So they make it our priority to spread His Word to underserved communities. By turning to the Bible, children feel secure, and the grandmothers, single mothers, and widows who have taken it upon themselves to care for them are comforted and empowered to live a life full of purpose. 

Sweet Sleep CO•OPs unite single mothers, widows, and caretakers through jointly owned local enterprises. They provide Christ-centered business training and startup capital to develop and nurture these local businesses and savings groups. In doing so, individuals are empowered to generate sustainable income that helps them afford food, clothing, medical care, and school fees for their families. So far, Sweet Sleep has created more than 90 CO-OPs and financed over 1000 businesses. 

Millions of orphaned and vulnerable children across the globe have no option but to sleep on concrete, packed clay earth, soiled and shredded foam, or broken-down pre-Soviet era beds. Having a comfortable bed to sleep on is essential to their health and wellbeing, as it shelters them from disease, helps them recover from illness, and allows them to feel rested for class, church, and family activities. 

So, Sweet Sleep has partnered with businesses, churches, and like-minded faith-based organizations to ensure the delivery spiritual rest, economic rest, and physical rest to widows and orphans around the world.
