Poverty Alleviation Programme
Economic: Microfinance Loans –
In Africa, those who are the poorest are also the hungriest. Masses of hungry people are at risk of dying from starvation. Because hunger breeds sickness, those who suffer both cannot provide productive labor. Without work, they have few, if any, assets.
Without assets, there is no access to credit. Without the ability to pay, families are unable to invest in the education of their children. The spiral of hopelessness intensifies their experience of poverty, with no end in sight.
Hope Initiative strive to break the cycle of poverty through our efforts to bring opportunity to the people of Africa. We focus our attention and resources in the key areas of agriculture, economic development, education, health care and water.
Our initiatives include:
- Provided women money to establish or expand viable businesses and provide sustainable income with affordable financing that changes the future of families and transforms poverty-stricken communities
- Giving poor rural families training and credit opportunities to start businesses such as poultry farming, poultry feed production and bio fuel crops;
- Establishing market infrastructures to ensure that farm families receive fair market prices for their crops;
- Supporting education for impoverished children;
- Providing wells to supply clean drinking water;
- Developing irrigation systems to ensure crop sustainability through long periods of drought and to increase crop cycle productivity;
- Addressing critical medical needs through the building and support of clinics.
We have teamed up with other ministries around the globe to reach as many people as we can with the resources we have been given. Whether it’s helping relieve communities hit by natural disaster, rescuing women from prostitution and placing them in a safe place, or digging freshwater wells and providing lasting hope for poor and needy children.
These partnerships allow us to apply the generous donations from our friends and partners to the areas they’re needed the most
Give Hope Initiative helps mobilize communities to respond to the needs of poor and needy families and children around the world. As our support base grows, we shall work to raise community awareness regarding poverty and HIV/AIDS in Africa and its relevance globally. We are confident in the integrity of the channels we have established so that contributions provide the highest possible impact for the most critical needs.
