Project HOPE
Serving Orphans & Widows Since 2001
With your help, we aim to develop effective long-term solutions that strengthen a community’s ability to care for their widows and orphans.
About Us
Developing long-term relationships with partners.
Rather than establish our ‘own projects’ we strategically come alongside vibrant, grassroots initiatives, increasing their capacity to help the widows and orphans within their scope of reach. This method maximizes the sustainability of projects, as they are ‘self-conceived’, while simultaneously reducing cost.
