There’s a World of Hope in You
With World Hope International, you can be at the intersection of a broken world and a loving God. You’ll find hope each time you meet the needs of another vulnerable child and family in crisis.
Your Role in Our Mission
As Proverbs 31 instructs, we are to speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, to defend the rights of the destitute and needy. Together we can supercharge your ability to serve the most vulnerable among us.
Find Hope With Us
Vulnerable children and their families are at the heart of everything we do. Our mission is simple: to make a positive impact on 1 million and 1 at-risk children and families around the world.
Make Miracles as a Partner
Beautiful transformations occur when we bring God’s hope to those in need.
At World Hope International, we go where other humanitarian relief organizations dare not go — the places that need miracles most.
When you support World Hope International, you make miracles happen. With you as our partner:
- Over 1 million people in Sierra Leone, Liberia, Haiti and Cambodia have clean water.
- Children living with disabilities in West Africa have brighter futures.
- Human trafficking survivors are protected and reintegrated.

Building Resilience Together
Our model is sustainable because we teach communities to stay successful long after we’re gone. This means when you join us, you’re changing lives now and for years to come. Past sponsored children are teaching today’s sponsored children in schools! And a child living with disabilities who Enable the Children (ETC) helped, is now grown and helps other children with disabilities realize their potential through our Enable the Children program.
Your support can make a difference:
- $40/month: Give a child an education … and a future with hope.
- $44/month: Help a child living with disabilities reach adulthood … and thrive.
- $200: Screen a woman in Sierra Leone for cervical cancer … and save her life.
- $13,000: Gift a community a clean water system … and sustainability.
