Welcome to Green Eyes in Africa. We are a non-profit 501(c) 3 organization dedicated to educating, empowering, and loving impoverished African orphans. Our mission started with two green-eyed brothers, Patrick and Ryan Hansen, who were determined to make a difference. Ryan lives in Africa to ensure that all funding is used properly. Patrick runs the "business" side of things in the USA. Neither brothers receive a salary for what they do. 100 percent of donations go straight to those who suffer.

Our important mission is underway at the New Hope Orphanage, our center in Yaounde, Cameroon where we care for orphans, the blind, and those suffering from AIDS. We believe that every child deserves a childhood, especially in Africa, where children are forced to grow up too early, often in traumatic ways.

Please take the time to explore the website. You'll have the chance to meet the special children for whom we're building a future, see beautiful photos from Africa, and most importantly, find out how you, too, can help us help those who need it most. Be sure to check out our documentaries page and order a DVD so you can see for yourself how truly wonderful our work really is.

The Blog is here!

It's BIG! It's exciting! It's about time...the BLOG has arrived. Finally, here is your chance to read all about the happenings at the orphanage. Ryan has written the first few entries and it is very interesting reading. In his beautiful and candid writing style Ryan offers us a glimpse into the chaotic nature of existing in Africa - the amazing growth and joy in our children juxtaposed against the danger of living in Yaounde. In the future we hope to hear from Patrick, and even some of the wonderful friends who have visited the New Hope Orphanage. We hope that you enjoy learning more about our mission, our hopes for the future and our everyday life at the New Hope Orphanage.
