About HOPE International Development Agency:

Founded in 1975, HOPE International Development Agency's (HOPE) mission is “to improve the supply of basic human necessities for the neediest of the needy in the Third World through self-help activities, and to challenge, educate, and involve North Americans regarding development issues.” HOPE works on over 60 initiatives in 20 countries in the Americas, South East Asia, South Asia and Africa. Its work primarily focuses on providing clean water, sustainable food supplies, good health, education and skills, and improved income to the poor. HOPE’s strategy assesses needs, enables families and communities to do the work themselves, and evaluates outcomes. However, the charity does not appear to publicly report on this evaluation.

HOPE’s clean water program aims to provide clean water to people with scarce or contaminated access to water. The charity’s food program aims to help families grow nutritious food in a sustainable manner, while earning extra income on the sale of surplus harvest. Its health program aims to help people, especially mothers and children, learn to reduce sickness and maintain good health. HOPE’s learning program aims to help people escape poverty and become self-reliant through education and skills training. Finally, its income program aims to provide people with low-interest loans in order to earn enough income to become self-reliant.

In F2015, HOPE reported that it helped more than 760,000 people through more than 60 initiatives.
