Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

THE PURPOSE OF WORLD HOPE INTERNATIONAL, INC. (WHI) INCLUDES PROVIDING ASSISTANCE TO ECONOMICALLY DISADVANTAGED PEOPLE THROUGH LONG-TERM SOCIAL TRANSFORMATION PROJECTS, INCLUDING ANTI-TRAFFICKING PROTECTION, CLEAN WATER, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, EDUCATION AND HEALTH INITIATIVES.

Activities or mission (Part I)

World Hope International (WHI) is a Christian relief and development organization bringing hope in hard places by partnering with vulnerable and exploited communities to alleviate poverty, suffering, and injustice.

  • 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.

    Expenses $11,806,612 · Grants $9,775,360 · Revenue $386,438

  • 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. In Southeast Asia, WHI focuses on increasing protection from trafficking for Indigenous Peoples in remote provinces. World Hope conducted six research efforts across four countries and developed 22 resource tools to strengthen service providers, communities, and survivors' ability to recover and protect others from trafficking. World Hope child sponsors and individual donations are important partners in this effort.

    Expenses $3,673,935 · Grants $81,240 · Revenue $120,563

These efforts continue in 2024, primarily focusing on Sierra Leone, Liberia, Cambodia, and Haiti, impacting over 146,000 persons across 94 communities. Upgrades in drilling equipment and geophysics technology increased capabilities in West Africa. Key funding partners include Charity Water, Hope Water, and many North American churches.

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.
