World Hope International (WHI) is a Christian relief and development organization working with vulnerable and exploited communities to alleviate poverty, suffering, and injustice.

  • Health and Nutrition: World Hope's impactful programs are dedicated to reducing maternal and child mortality in West Africa and the Caribbean. Our financial and Gifts-In-Kind resources, including these projects, have made a significant impact, reaching 135,980 individuals. Haiti's La Ganave Hospital, serving 13,897 patients in 2023, received facility upgrades, pharmaceuticals, and training. 1,745 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 $8.9 million were secured for health partners in West Africa and Haiti. World Hope continued to pilot an innovative low-cost cervical cancer screening and provided treatment to 3,521 women in Sierra Leone. Significant partners in medical supplies include MAP International, KBNF Canada, and Wheel Chairs for Kids Australia.

    Expenses $12,915,868 · Grants $10,164,084 · Revenue $58,498

  • Social Protection: World Hope focused on the continuum of aftercare services for survivors of abuse and human trafficking, as well as the legal and policy environments for effective counter-trafficking. Outreach impacted a total of 5,435 children and women. 586 trafficked children and women received protection and recovery services in West Africa. 92 children in the Philippines received protection and recovery services as victims of online sexual abuse. 33 trafficked Liberian women repatriated from the Middle East received protection and recovery services. In partnership with the University of Georgia (CenTHRO) and the Partnership to End Modern-Day Slavery (PEMS), research on prevention for child trafficking continued in rural Sierra Leone. 1,064 law enforcement members, social workers, health care professionals, and caregivers in West Africa and Southeast Asia received skills development in protective services and psychosocial support. Critical partners include the US Department of State, family foundations and North American churches. World Hope's programs improved safeguarding, access, and academic outcomes for 14,365 disadvantaged children. Our primary partner in education is the Wesleyan Church's education services.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
