In recent days, we have had many people inquire about how HOPE worldwide<\/em> is affected by the recent freeze in U.S. government aid. This freeze certainly presents an unprecedented challenge. Of the 60+ countries that have a HOPE worldwide<\/em> program, five countries are impacted. These include humanitarian aid programs in Kenya, Botswana, Cote d\u2019Ivoire, Mozambique, and Papua New Guinea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At HOPE worldwide<\/em> we are committed to and accountable for the effective stewardship of vital aid resources. We also value the trust you place in us and we take seriously our responsibility to demonstrate genuine mission impact. This freeze in federal funding halts essential medical care, medication, and tangible aid for 137,000 beneficiaries in these countries who rely on our support. This also endangers the livelihoods of many dedicated staff members in these communities who compassionately provide care to their vulnerable neighbors in need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a faith-based relief and development organization alleviating poverty around the globe, we remain steadfast in our commitment to demonstrating God’s love through these life-saving humanitarian efforts. Now, more than ever, we need your help to navigate this challenging time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is how you can help today:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Pray<\/strong>: Join us in prayer that tangible aid can continue, reaching those in urgent need and that our five affected programs can overcome this challenge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Donate<\/strong>: Your generous contributions can help the affected programs and local staff adapt to these uncertain circumstances. Click here to donate.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are profoundly grateful for the unwavering support we receive from individuals, churches, corporations, and governments all around the world. Together, with faith and determination, we can continue to make a tangible difference in the lives of those who need it most.

Thank you for inspiring greater hope.
