Program accomplishments

  • Health Care: World Hope's impactful programs are dedicated to reducing maternal and child mortality, strengthening and ensuring inclusion for children living with disabilities, and providing medical supplies to hospitals in West Africa and the Caribbean. Our financial and Gifts-In-Kind resources have made a significant impact, reaching over 2,175,000 individuals. Haiti's La Ganave Hospital, serving an island of 120,000 people, received facility upgrades, pharmaceuticals, construction of a blood bank facility and program, and training. 1,400 Children with Disabilities accessed physiotherapy, education, and family support interventions in Liberia and Sierra Leone. In Sierra Leone, WHI is an implementing partner of child health and mortality prevention surveillance (CHAMPS), a significant global research priority of the Gates Foundation and Emory University. Critical drugs and medical equipment worth $20.4 million were secured for 183 hospitals and other health partners in West Africa and Haiti. World Hope continued to pilot an innovative, low-cost cervical cancer screening and provided treatment to 5,200 women in Sierra Leone.

  • Protection from Violence and Exploitation: World Hope provides safety, reintegration, family support, trauma-informed care, and other aftercare services for survivors of abuse and human trafficking, as well as the legal and policy environments for effective counter-trafficking response and prevention. Outreach impacted over 22,000 children, women, and vulnerable men, as well as 290 communities and 190 schools to increase their protection of the most vulnerable in their communities. 325 trafficked children and women across 176 legal cases received reintegration, legal, and recovery services in West Africa and Southeast Asia. Critical partners include the US Department of State, the Tim Tebow Foundation, family foundations, and North American churches.
