Mission
HOPE worldwide is an international Christian charity that brings people and communities together to deliver sustainable and high-impact education and health services to the poor and needy.
History
The International Churches of Christ founded HOPE worldwide in 1991, in response to the Scriptures’ call to serve the poor and needy throughout the world. Its non-sectarian programmes provide education to disadvantaged children, job and life skills training to the poor, medical services to the sick, and help the elderly to age more healthily and with dignity. Today, HOPE worldwide and its affiliates and chapters serve more than 2 million people on every inhabited continent every year.
HOPE worldwide established the affiliate in Hong Kong in 1993 to serve the poor in Hong Kong and China. The affiliate is incorporated under the Companies Ordinance and obtained tax-exempt status as a charity from the Inland Revenue Department (Ref No. 91/3798). Currently, our programmes serve vulnerable elderly, underprivileged children and youth in Hong Kong, and also poor children in rural communities and urban areas in China.
Core Values
At HOPE worldwide, we hold to these core values:
- To imitate Jesus heart for the poor and needy;
- To work in partnership with the communities where we serve;
- To adapt our practices to meet local needs;
- To steward effectively the resources available to us.
