HOPE International Development Agency

Compelled by compassion and the inherent worth and potential of every person, HOPE International is a collective of entrepreneurial and dedicated people who are responsive to overlooked families living in extreme poverty. Founded in 1975, HOPE connects donors, volunteers and teams here in Canada with opportunities to fuel lasting change around the world. Together, we equip and empower possibility for families through approaches that are locally initiated, sustainable and permanent with a focus on clean water, food security and livelihoods.
