Creating Impact Globally

Using market-based, community-driven enterprise solutions to empower, protect, & build resiliency

Transformation

The challenges in today’s world are complex and deeply interconnected.

The projects that we take on at World Hope are community led and sustainable. We believe that individuals and communities are transformed into ones with dignity and wholeness through a spiritual, social, economic, and physical change. Transformation is never a single-issue project; it’s as multi-dimensional as people are themselves, and it can begin with a single person, expand to their community, and go on to change a whole world.

Sustainability

We believe they require more than a quick fix…

Lasting impact is realized through locally sustainable programs. From the moment we first begin to consider a project, we are already envisioning how it will grow to live on without us. Innovating projects that self-sustain allows us to be nimble as an organization, moving in and out of countries to answer challenges with opportunities.

Empowerment

and they will only be truly addressed through local empowerment

That is why we use market-driven, community led enterprise solutions as the basis of all our work. Instead of creating demand, we meet it. Instead of leading change, we work hand in hand with local leaders and listen hard within the community. Then we work together to develop an enterprise solution that can continue on long after we have left. Something that is rooted in the unique culture and lifestyle of the place where it is sewn.

Collaboration

—and in partnership with others.

We don’t go where not invited by a community because we know that local collaboration is vital. Partnering with like-minded organizations and individuals allows us to leverage our resources and amplify our impact. Interconnected challenges require connected responses and together, we can create a whole world of hope.

AN ORGANISATION YOU CAN TRUST.

Please note that in the unlikely event a specific appeal becomes overfunded, surplus funds will be redirected towards a similar relief or community development project.

Traffickers and abusers usually target vulnerable people, using lies to prey on those desperate for a better life. We recognize that in order to combat issues of trafficking in persons and sexual and gender-based violence, it is necessary to work at all levels of society.

Our community-led, locally tailored solutions around the world include programs such as anti-trafficking hotlines, protection services, advocacy efforts, gender trainings, and after-care.

THIRST: Searching for Clean Drinking Water on a Desert Island

by Heather Hill | Feb 6, 2019 | Clean Water and Sanitation, Health and Nutrition, Social Venture

“I had this idea that if you could just build a water cistern that can save the water and have it when it’s dry, that would be good. Having ocean water be drinkable would help so many people.”

We work to lay the groundwork for healthy, private sector collaborations at the grassroots and global trading levels. We support the start-up of businesses that can help people out of poverty while providing a service that everyone needs—like growing food, producing power, and improving accessing to clean water.

Some of our community-led enterprise programs include a mushroom cultivation project in Cambodia, greenhouses in Sierra Leone, and a Solar Powered Water Desalination and Distribution Center in Haiti.

WHI was instrumental in the fight to end the 2014/2015 Ebola (EVD) outbreak in Sierra Leone. In November 2015, Sierra Leone was declared Ebola-free and since then WHI has been working to provide assistance to Ebola survivors through Community Care Centers, education, and more.

Our work includes many other market-driven solutions, though, such as our Child Health and Mortality Prevention Surveillance program, ambulance services, Helping Babies Breathe (which trained 3,615 health care workers in 2018), Enable the Children, and so much more.

When disaster strikes, supplying fresh water is vital for survival

by Guest Author | Jan 16, 2019 | Clean Water and Sanitation, Emergency Relief

When disaster strikes, supplying fresh water is vital for survival through the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) Action Network on Post-Disaster Recovery, World Hope International is turning ideas into action by supplying fresh water to remote communities in the Caribbean in the aftermath of natural disasters.

Whether it's through early childhood development, child education, family education, adult education, or something else yet, we believe that education is the key to transforming communities and reducing poverty, suffering, and injustice worldwide.

Educated citizens are citizens who are empowered to act as advocates for economic and social change. An educated population promotes a better-educated nation and an improved social structure. It's also why we work so hard to help students stay in school - by building wells in schools and empowering families to afford and value education.

To maximize the investment impact of a child sponsorship, we adapt our solutions to poverty, suffering, and injustice to each country or region where we work—whether in Guatemala, Haiti, India, Indonesia, Liberia, Philippines, Sierra Leone, Sri Lanka, or Zambia.

We address the holistic needs of children and their communities. Success is measured not only by whether the child is attending school, but our overall impact on the region’s food security, access to clean water, reduction in sickness, improvements in teacher training, and the availability of school supplies.
