It's all about the numbers. 33,550. 5,000. and 58...

Sometimes the work we do together feels small, yet important. It can be stunning in its beauty and weight. Speaking of weight, did you see the poundage of rice that was supplied? 

Many of you, our partners in Hope, did this. Read on to learn how your gifts have had an immediate and life-saving impact.

Together, we are the Hope Project.

33,550 Pounds of Rice

Due to the generosity of 62 people, we opened a temporary community hub at the school, supplying the school families and the surrounding community with emergency food (33,550 pounds of rice!) and sanitation supplies.

5,000 Masks

Our Hope partners have not only provided masks for Hope International students but the communities surrounding our school. Our senior students and principal Joseph Cummings distributed 5,000 masks that were made onsite at Hope International’s sewing lab, with funds that you generously gave.

58 Quarantine Kits

In response to the urgent needs of the community, our Liberian partners assembled Quarantine Kits. Each Quarantine Kit provided a household (4-6 people) with a 2-week supply of rice, cooking oil, sanitation supplies, and masks. 58 families had their basic needs assured for two weeks. In a country where things are uncertain, at best, this is beautiful, tangible, and essential.

Student Spotlight - Meet Ojota.

Ojota.jpg

Please meet, Ojota, a Hope International School 5th grade student. Her father sells hot water thermoses at the local market to support her and her brother. Ojota's favorite subject is math and she dreams of being a doctor. This big dream is possible due to the continued support of our Hope² partners.

Hope², our group of 140 pledged donors, provides well over 70% of our annual budget. This support is how we pay our teachers, support the computer and science lab, run our school-based medical clinic, and exist as a resource for the most vulnerable families in Liberia. For as little as $10 a month you can provide one month of education for a student like Ojota.

You x Liberia = Hope². With this formula, the opportunities for creating HOPE will prove to be endless. Together, we are The Hope Project.

Hope Enters on World Food Day and Every Day.

On World Food Day, we celebrate two Hope International graduates, Augustine and Smith, who are taking the future of their communities’ food into their own hands.

Augustine is entering his second year of university studies in Agriculture. After graduation he hopes to start a farm in rural Liberia. 

Smith will graduate from William V.S. Tubman University with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Mechanical Engineering, November 2020! For his final Senior Project, Smith designed and fabricated a Sugarcane Chipping Machine. This machine requires no electricity and will improve the economic well-being of rural Liberian farmers.

Education provides the power to change the future of Liberia. We are so thankful for your partnership in rebuilding this beautiful country. Together, we are The Hope Project.
