HOPE International Development Agency, Japan started in 2001 and works in partnership with other HOPE Entities in Canada, the US, the UK, New Zealand and Australia. With over 70 projects in 20 countries, HOPE is committed to long term relationships linking friends in the funding countries with trusted partners in the developing world. Globally HOPE sends 95 % of all funds raised to overseas projects.
The Purpose of HOPE: HOPE believes that all people, regardless of their geographical setting, creed, gender or race, have basic rights and should be given the opportunity to achieve their potential. Basic needs such as clean water, food, shelter, health, work, recreation, social-economic independence, and education are seen by HOPE as being fundamental human rights upon which growth can occur. HOPE is dedicated to working alongside the poor, helping set up programs which enable the poor to cultivate their skills and knowledge, taking advantage of existing and available resources to develop self-reliant communities. With this in mind, the majority of HOPE’s energies and resources are expended in favour of development rather than relief.
