What we aim to solve
Illiteracy in India ranks #1 in the world. Hunger is more rampant in India than anywhere in the world. Some of the poorest of the poor live in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia. We do work in india, Kenya and Uganda to help address some of these issues.

Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
The Hope Venture exists to bring help and hope to people around the world. Through trusted partnerships, The Hope Venture engages primarily in compassion-based projects emphasizing better education, health, clothing and shelter for children, orphans and the needy poor, for the honor of Christ.
The mission of The Hope Venture is to foster a global community that is meeting the needs of people worldwide by compassionately connecting resources with needs.
Our vision is that our tangible help would become true hope in many people around the world.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
We start with trusted partners that we have vetted over time through long term friendships and connections. We work with locals to determine what they sense are the greatest needs and help them figure out solutions that help relieve and develop needs through as sustainable of methods as possible. We work with local churches and pastors as well who can help follow up with the people we serve. Lastly, we make sure we work in areas that we are able to follow up and keep accountability with.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
We work with locals who have proven records of capability in these or other related areas. Personally, as the director, I have been working alongside of people in India for 15 years and in Africa for 5.
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
We are excited that we have already helped thousands of children and adults in desperately poor areas of India and Africa. We are providing an education to children from illiterate families, food and clean water to those who didn't have it, income and skills to adults that had no job beforehand, etc. There are a billion people in India and millions in Africa, many who live in destitute poverty. There is still much work to do to help lives find hope!
