HOPE International

Our mission is to invest in the dreams of families in the world’s underserved communities as we proclaim and live the Gospel.

We believe families in poverty have the God-given talents and skills to provide for their families. What they don’t have is a lump sum of money to invest in their potential—by paying school fees, saving for the future, or investing in businesses.

In obedience to Christ’s command to love our neighbor and make disciples of all nations, we provide discipleship opportunities, training, a safe place to save, and loans.

OVERALL IMPACT

HOPE loans have a 98% repayment rate.

This is largely because the organization offers training, frequent communication, and grace periods to ensure that each loan has its maximum effect in the lives of the participants. In Malawi, 81% of savings group members are able to overcome a financial emergency, compared to 37% of the general population. In addition, the groups are powerful social support groups: even when COVID-19 prevented them from saving money together, 85% of the groups continued to meet anyway to support one another in other ways.

OVERVIEW

STORY OF IMPACT

“I didn’t understand then, but I understand it now. That’s the way Jesus treats people.”

When you donate to HOPE International, you are helping people like Vadim flourish as an individual.

WHY WE TRUST THEM

HOPE International strikes the balance between encouraging families to provide for themselves and giving grace when adversity arises.

For instance, during COVID they switched from loans to direct relief in many places, and extended repayment deadlines in others.
