Standing Ovation for Vocation

Much celebration happened recently, as 98 students from all three of Hope International's vocational programs graduated surrounded by family and friends cheering them on.

Through awarded grants from Project Redwood, we were able to establish Hope International's on-site vocational programs Sew Much Hope, Cooking Up Hope, and Power of Hope. These programs provide the necessary training for graduates to work in the formal job market and create thriving small businesses within their local communities. On average, 85% of past graduates are using their skills to earn an income.

Congratulations graduates on your big achievement! Thank you to our Hope community for your partnership that sustains these programs.
