Elevating How the World Cares for Orphaned Children
Sobering Realities. Unshakable Hope.
Together, we stand for a mission beyond borders. While you work to transform lives around the world, Stiry will bring those efforts to life through “perspective moments”—raw, honest stories that kindle hope, lift silenced voices, and honor those who fight tirelessly for change. Together, we’ll weave purpose and power into documentaries and media that drive conversation and inspire action. A Child's Hope Foundation and Stiry will tell the sobering truth—boldly—to elevate how the world cares for orphaned children across the globe.

Estimated Timeline

1-3 months: Our storyteller strategy meeting will help us identify the timeline for the film. ​​
STATEMENT OF WORK:
Once the production path is chosen, via our Storytelling Strategy Session, we will create a Statement of Work (SOW) to guide the production calendar and establish appropriate benchmarks to hold us accountable. Stiry will work diligently to meet all agreed-upon goals and deadlines.
The Heart of the Story
Sobering Realities. Unshakable Hope.
Emotional Storytelling:
Our mission is to craft a deeply moving and visually compelling narrative that highlights the heart of A Child’s Hope Foundation—beginning with the inspiring journey of Nik Eckman and expanding to the many powerful stories yet to be told. Through this storytelling, we will illuminate the core initiatives of the foundation, capturing the moments that matter most: the challenges faced, the breakthroughs achieved, and the lasting impact made.
​
With care and authenticity, we will pair Nik’s personal journey with the global mission of A Child’s Hope, showing how one life—one story—can ignite change. This is not just about storytelling; it’s about shining a light on the hope and healing that is possible when compassionate individuals choose to act.
​
Together, we will show the world that everyone has the power to bring hope to orphaned children—whether in our own neighborhoods or across the globe.
Case Study:
Prove that the work you are doing must continue. Until every orphan has felt the hope and love that comes through our choice to engage and act. We aim to help others commit to the cause and align with the mission in an emotional, social, and financial way.
