Who's Doing Good
Welcome to our new "Who's Doing Good?" page where we feature celebrities, musicians, athletes, and companies that are helping to make the world a better place.

Sela Ward

Sela's Hope Village Foundation was formed to aid abused and neglected children. Sela opened the foundation on Dec. 27th, 2001 in Meridian Mississippi. Sela was even on hand before the opening...among other hands on work...she painted some canvases for the walls. Hope Village in Meridian is a state-of-the-art campus, and will be a blueprint for something that doesn’t exist in our country. Sela wants to expand Hope Village across the country....to create safe nurturing environments everywhere, not just in Mississippi.

Hope Village is housed in an old Masonic Home which has been turned into a new residential care facility with five cottages. The work of Hope Village will revolve around a system of a rotating staff of case managers, cottage supervisors and direct care workers.

Children will receive the care and compassion they need to heal and grow. This home will allow them to stay as long as they want or until the age of 18.
