History

Giving Children Hope, also known as Global Operations & Development, is located in Buena Park, California. Founded in 1993, John and Juliana Ditty had committed their lives to help the world’s most disadvantaged upon the adoption of two Eastern European children. Observing the great needs in their children’s home countries, they began to help through the delivery of medical supplies and equipment to some of the most economically impacted parts of the world

As part of that mission it became obvious that serving families was a necessary part of serving children. Giving Children Hope also has made it a priority to work with needs in the United States, while also participating in worldwide needs that also touch the lives of children.
