Who is HOPE International Development Agency?

HOPE's mandate is to provide alternative technological and educational support to people in developing countries where environmental, economic, and/or social circumstances have interfered with the ability of local communities to sustain themselves by using traditional methods. Every project we do is initiated by requests from local representatives.

Our Projects are People Oriented

HOPE encourages people from poor communities to use their skills or learn new ones to implement the project, and the compassion of donors to provide the required funding.

The founders of HOPE are Christian people. HOPE is supported by a broad spectrum of caring people. HOPE is not affiliated with any denomination but remains true to its roots in compassionate Christianity. See our projects.

Our Help is Provided Unconditionally

All HOPE donors have something in common, regardless of their background: they are deeply moved by the suffering of families in the developing world and give out of a sense of compassion and expectation that things can be made better for families in need.

Help Comes in Many Forms

Donations to HOPE's work come in many forms, such as volunteer time, free expertise, equipment, medicine, shipping costs, and donations of funds. Donations are shared amongst our work in Africa, Asia and the Americas.

Donors' Funds are Used Wisely

Administration and fundraising costs are under 6% of total income. Cash donations are receipted and are tax deductible in Canada and the United States of America. In some cases, donors can see their contribution doubled or tripled as some of HOPE's projects are matched by the federal and provincial governments. However, most of our projects rely solely on the compassionate support of donors. See our Annual Report.
