ABOUT HOPE TRUST

HOPE TRUST is an independently registered nonprofit charity committed to serving the families of Youth, Children and disadvantages people in developing countries to bring about a meaningful change in their lives. We promote awareness within these families so that their next generation will be in a better position to provide for their families. Our charity is based on helping one family at a time; so we can see the results over a long period of time.
Our Vision
Give the Needy has the vision that every single mother raising her children alone deserves the right to a dignified and healthy way of life. By improving the quality of life of a single mother (widowed, divorced or abandoned), we are helping families to have hope for a better future.

John Shabani’s Mission

“Hope Trust Mission”

Our mission is to hive hope families in developing countries and make a lasting impact on their lives. We endeavor to provide long and short term care in the area of self-sufficiency and sustenance for single mothers with underprivileged children to raise their families. We support families that achieve effective results from donations entrusted to our care. This is achieved while ensuring costs are kept as low as possible for effective operations under clear financial supervision. We also employ review systems for proper checks and balances to further ensure that we are getting the best value for your trusted donations.

Our Convictions
We at Give the Needy believe that people in need should not be looked down upon by their race, color or religion. They have the same value system for living/life as anyone else, but they are deprived from the opportunity to provide for themselves. They are just human beings like you and me trying to survive in this world. The everyday things we take for granted are a luxury for these unfortunate people who wake up each morning afraid of whether they will have enough food to live through the next day or a roof over their heads to sleep with some security and dignity.
Our Management
The activities of Hope Trust are run by an independent Board of Directors and volunteers, who meet regularly and serve without reward or compensation. Their personal opinions and interests are in line with the vision, missions and commitment as mentioned above. We are dedicated and would try our best to deliver and sustain any projects we undertake to the utmost satisfaction of our donors. There can be no greater inner satisfaction than to help someone less fortunate. Nothing compares to a pure and selfless sense of purpose than helping others. Together we can help build better families and communities. One family at a time.

The Hope Trust (HOT)

“To bring hope to the Children and Youth”

SAVING LIVES, BUILDING FAMILIES

Today, there are millions of children and youth in underdeveloped countries who have no parents, food, clothing, or access to medical or emotional care. While the majority of these children are dying from malnutrition, their living conditions are so poor that even diaper rash can be deadly. This situation is not isolated; in fact, it is growing at an ever-increasing pace.

In contrast, there are thousands of families in developed countries trying to adopt. However, they are faced with a complicated and cost prohibitive adoption process. This gap continues to widen as more children die and families struggle to find the resources to adopt.

A Hope Trust is bridging this gap to our young children, awakening their spirits while seeking a loving family for them. With your help we can save lives, build families, and be a youth and child's hope for love and belonging in this world!
