About World Hope International

World Hope International (WHI) is a faith-based relief and development organization alleviating suffering and injustice through education, enterprise, and community health. In collaboration with faith communities, like-minded organizations, and individuals around the globe, World Hope seeks to empower people by creating a broad spectrum of locally sustainable programs. These programs include economic development, leadership and skills training, child sponsorship, and community health education. World Hope works in and through the local faith community to bring spiritual, social, economic, and physical change.

Its core values are...

Transformation
The redemptive power of Jesus, working in and through the local faith community, offers transforming dignity and wholeness to individuals and communities. This transformative power brings spiritual, social, economic, and physical change.

Empowerment
To the extent that local communities, leaders, and individuals are empowered and equipped to affect sustainable change, meaningful and lasting development will happen.

Sustainability
Creating locally sustainable programs is crucial to achieving a lasting impact.

Collaboration
Respectful, knowledgeable partnership with like-minded organizations and individuals is the most powerful means of development.

To the hungry, we offer Life.
To the forgotten, we give Opportunity.
To the outcast, we foster Dignity.
To the desperate, we bring Hope.
