Sweet Sleep exists to share God's love by providing beds for the world's orphaned and abandoned children.

1. The world's orphaned and abandoned children need a place to lay their heads at night. A safe place. A bed.

Sweet Sleep is a non-profit organization based in Nashville, Tennessee that works to provide beds and bedding to orphaned and abandoned children throughout the world in a way in which shares the message and the Gospel of Jesus Christ through supportive relationships with churches, volunteers in ministry, foundations, private donors, and fellow Believers in any culture where they minister.

Since its founding in 2003, Sweet Sleep has established a reputation for servant-hood and integrity and has led hundreds of people on mission journeys to minister to Moldova’s orphans. Sweet Sleep has seen numerous team members and children give their lives to Christand has already placed beds in Moldova’s largest orphanages. Now, Sweet Sleep is iin the process of taking their ministry beyond the borders of Moldova to the world.

The problem...
Currently, Sweet Sleep is working in Moldova, a third-world country between the Ukraine and Romania - the poorest country in Europe according to a report last year from the United Nations. The CIA World Fact Book estimates that 80% of the population lives below the poverty line.

Moldova has struggled greatly since its independence from the Soviet Union in 1991. The victims of this impoverished young country are its children. More than 14,000 children (birth to 16 years) are growing up in orphanage institutions. The government does not have the money to sustain the needs of these children and, as a result, closes the doors to most of its 62 orphanages each summer. This leaves children who must somehow find suitable food and shelter for months at a time.

Beds in these state-run institutions are typically between 40-50 years old. Constructed of metal, it is common for bed springs to have "sprung" -- leaving gaping holes in which the thin cotton mattresses fall through to the floor. Children will usually use shoestring or rope to tie the holes together. The mattresses are heavily soiled and stained from decades of children who wet their cotton mattresses. Orphanages experiences large breakouts of lice and scabies due to poor sanitation and children are only able to shower once every week or two.

Due to the dire need of beds and bedding in orphanages and the inability of the Moldovan government to provide these resources, Sweet Sleep was granted permission to work in the orphanages from the Minister of Education's office.
