Our Vision and Mission :
Vision
HOPE world wide's vision is to bring hope and change the lives of the world's most poor, sick and suffering.
Mission HOPE worldwide is an international charity that changes lives by harnessing the compassion and commitment of dedicated staff and volunteers to deliver sustainable, high-impact, community-based services to the poor and needy.
History HOPE worldwide was founded in response to the Scriptures, which call us to have the heart of Jesus by serving the poor and needy throughout the world. We began in 1991 with three small local programs. Today HOPE worldwide operates on every inhabited continent, serving more than one million people annually.
Partners We are proud of our history of collaboration. Our valued relationship with the International Churches of Christ dates from our founding, and our global network has grown to include countless individuals and organizations who are our valued partners in the fight against poverty.

Help us continue to bring hope Any contribution to this important cause is appreciated. As you learn more about our work, we hope that you will be inspired to join us. We invite you to become part of a community dedicated to changing the lives of the world's neediest people. Each night children in the world’s poorest communities pray that tomorrow will bring a better day for them and their families. Join us in answering those prayers. Working together, we can make a difference.
Connecting on a heart basis Together, we are a community in service to the most vulnerable people around the globe, working on an individual-to-individual, heart-to-heart basis, letting them know they have not been forgotten. The men and women of HOPE worldwide feel called to help the least fortunate among us just as Jesus did. Thousands of individuals and organizations have become our valued partners in this important work.

Developing innovative approaches HOPE worldwide does not shy away from large challenges. We are fighting the HIV/AIDS pandemic and its consequences in Africa and around the world, building a new health care system in Cambodia, providing homes and jobs for leprosy patients and their families ostracized in India, and increasing literacy rates in under performing U.S. schools. These complex challenges defy simple solutions and typically require new and innovative approaches, prompting us to develop “best practices” that have made HOPE worldwide a recognized leader in working to eradicate poverty and its effects.

Creating lasting solutions We develop integrated solutions to the underlying problems of poverty on a non–sectarian basis by building partnerships, engaging local leaders, and leveraging available resources. The poor typically work hard but struggle to break a cycle of poverty that can span generations. Whether it's teaching new job skills, training teachers or improving access to health care, HOPE worldwide works with communities through Centers of HOPE worldwide to create sustainable solutions that go beyond addressing symptoms of distress.

A Leprosy Patient’s Story from the Village of HOPE
new Delhi, India: Tribhuvan was only 14 years old when he was diagnosed with leprosy. As the disease progressed, it affected his hands, causing Trubhuvan to leave his hometown of Varanasi, desperate to find help. Although his leprosy was eventually cured at a leprosy hospital in Delhi, Tribhuvan still had to overcome the paralysis that it left in his hands and fingers.
After reconstructive surgery, Tribhuvan joined the HOPE foundation Computer Institute at the Village of HOPE. Through the encouragement of staff members, Tribhuvan finished the course with flying colors and is now a Lab Tech student at St. Stephen’s Hospital in Delhi. His journey of desperation has led him to find hope today.
