Help to Hope
Purpose
Help to Hope will find, fund, and facilitate the connecting of humanitarian projects and organizations that use educational, medical, and nutritional programs to serve and empower overlooked and underserved people groups in remote regions of the world.
Methods of Support
Find
The board of directors will develop contacts that either work directly for or partner with such organizations and operations that meet the requirements earlier described. Furthermore, the board will seek to establish connections with those who may further assist and/or advise on projects that are chosen.
Fund
Any member of the board of directors may seek funding from individuals or entities that may have similar charitable intentions. Donations will be accepted as non-specified giving or for a specific endeavor that the board of directors has already chosen to undertake. Donations will not be accepted for the specification of projects that have not been prior agreed upon by the board of directors. Any large donations will be accepted as one-time unusual gifts. Donations may also be made on the Help to Hope website that will be developed.
Facilitate
Contacts and resources of Help to Hope will facilitate the connecting of organizations that would mutually benefit from each other and that would not have otherwise been possible. Help to Hope will always seek opportunities to bridge the gap between individuals and entities to fulfil the purpose.
Recipients of Support
Help to Hope specifically focuses support in developing countries on two aspects of people groups; remote regions and vulnerable sub-groups.
Remote Regions
Those residing in remote geographic regions of the world are overlooked due to commonly small populations or neglected because of insurmountable logistical distancing.
Vulnerable Sub-Groups
Certain sub-groups that are especially vulnerable, are underserved and overlooked by the communities they reside in either due to perceived status or a community’s lack of provision for care. These sub-groups are not limited to children, orphans, widows, elderly/geriatric, physically and/or mentally handicapped and the outcast.
While the preference would be to meet the criteria of belonging to both remote and underserved sub-groups, support may still be provided to those in only one of these categories. Such scenarios may include disaster relief or community restoration in remote regions (serving the entire community not just sub-groups), or orphan care in an urban setting (as opposed to a rural village).
Goal
Help remote regions and underserved sub-groups of the world, by provision of educational, medical and nutritional programs that will create a sense of hope for tomorrow.
