World Hope Remains, Standing in the Gap. ✧

As others withdraw, World Hope International is committed to partnering with under-resourced communities.

Standing in the Gap
When Others Withdraw

Around the world, the most vulnerable are being left behind.Decades of conflict, political instability, poverty, and disasters have created fragile communities where families are trapped without clean water, healthcare, or protection from exploitation.

This year, the need has only grown more urgent. Government aid and development assistance are shrinking dramatically — even being cut altogether. As a result, hospitals in Haiti face medical shortages, girls in Sierra Leone walk miles for unsafe water, and children in Cambodia and the Philippines fall prey to organized trafficking networks.

But where others have stepped back, World Hope International is stepping forward. We are uniquely positioned to fill the gap — leveraging 30 years of presence, local trust, and faith-rooted commitment in some of the hardest places on earth.

Join us in brining hope where it’s needed most.

Together, We Bring:

Clean Water

Global Health

Protection

World Hope International partners with vulnerable communities to break cycles of poverty, suffering, and injustice. In 2025, we delivered $20.4 million in medical supplies, brought clean water to rural villages, and rebuilt Sierra Leone’s only trafficking survivor shelter.

Lives Transformed Through Your Support

Behind every number is a name, a face, and a future. From Pierre in Haiti, whose crushed leg was saved at La Gonâve Wesleyen Hospital, to Alice in the Philippines, who overcame abuse and now thrives in school, your generosity is rewriting stories of hardship into testimonies of hope.

Global Health - Haiti

When violence forced thousands to flee mainland Haiti, Pierre, a 56-year-old father, arrived at La Gonâve Wesleyen Hospital with a gunshot wound that had gone untreated for a week. A three-hour surgery saved his leg—and his life.

Behind that resilience are people like Brice Marileine, a nurse and mother of four, who earned her degree through a World Hope program. Today, she serves her community with strength and confidence, showing that every healed wound and every trained nurse is a story of hope.

Clean Water - West Africa

At the A.K. Brown School in Liberia, children once relied on unsafe water that caused frequent illness and kept many from class, especially girls. Plastic sachets piled up as families had no choice but to depend on unsafe and costly sources.

Then World Hope installed a solar-powered water system. Attendance improved, families gained relief, and waste was reduced. The transformation restored dignity to students eager to learn, proving that clean water brings not only health, but hope.

Protection - The Philippines

At just 13, Alice was sold into exploitation by her own relatives. Traumatised and far behind in school, she processed the world like a much younger child and carried deep emotional scars.

Through World Hope’s Healing Homes program, Alice found safety, care, and education. Step by step, she regained confidence, advanced from Grade 4 to graduating Grade 6, and is now starting high school—her heart carrying more hope than fear.
