Who Are They:
HOPEthiopa/Rwanda is committed to the restoration of both the people and the land of Ethiopia and Rwanda.

MISSION
HOPE’s mission is to foster the educational, physical, social, emotional, economic, and spiritual growth of the most marginalized youth/young adults of Rwanda, i.e. the orphaned and homeless young men and women, most of whom were street children, and including those with acute or chronic, mental and physical illnesses.

VISION
HOPE’s vision is to see Rwanda's most marginalized youth become confident, fulfilled and faithful leaders, contributing to the sustainable development of Rwanda. HOPE’s dream is that the orphans of Rwanda will see their God-given destinies come to fruition and be facilitators of God’s good purposes for the nation.

OUR PROJECTS

HOPE invests in marginalized youth, desirous of a fresh start and transformed lives. HOPE is honoured to be entrusted with rejected and abandoned young women, as well as orphaned and homeless young men who graduated from Rwanda's government rehabilitation programs. In the hope of ensuring generational transformation, HOPE goes a step beyond and provides school sponsorship for the children of these young men and women.
