And we’ve only just scratched the surface. We want to see lives transformed, societies changed, and honest hope offered to families across Moldova and beyond. The generosity of our current corporate partners has enabled the launch of many projects with some examples being:• Pen-pal initiatives established between schools in USA and orphans in Moldova• Football outreach schemes bringing communities together• Provide families with essentials needs to live• Supporting the set-up of a business which will employ workers with a fair wage • Securing international retailers who will sell on organic products made in MoldovaBut we want and need to do so much more. And we’d love you to be a part of this journey. So, how can you get involved?We are looking for corporate partners to support us in 3 key areas:• Name Hope4 as your nominated charity for the year – this ongoing support is vital to our work and allows your company to really be a part of the vision• Ongoing monthly support – regular funds allow us to plan and deliver new projects • Ad Hoc Support – your generosity can accelerate the projects in the pipelineIf you would like to discuss the opportunities for your organisation to partner with Hope4 please book in a discovery call with me here: https://calendly.com/wearehope4/discovery-call

Chief Operating OfficerClear Cook Jul 2024 - PresentClear Cook is an innovative solution to one of the most common challenges within commercial kitchen, and that is how to keep heavily soiled bakeware clean. Currently Foodservice outlets employ Pot Washers, whose job it is to scrub these items clean. A thankless task that seems them often paid minimum wage, for a job that demands maximum effort. Clear Cook addressed that issue, by creating a device that cleans those most heavily soiled pots, pans, utensils, grills and extractors without the need for a pot washer, or scrubbing. And best of all, they are directing a significant proportion of their profits to Hope4, which is why I accepted the position of UK & European Sales Director, using my knowledge and experience in Foodservice, to help and promote this exciting product. When buying Clear Cook's Pot Washing system, you are directly impacting the lives of some of the most desperate people in Europe. -
