Summary
Represented by Henry Deneen, Global Hope Network International is a redemptive humanitarian organization that recently celebrated its 25th anniversary of bringing transformational community development to 31 nations across the 10/40 window. While operating as a 501(c)(3) to access the world’s most vulnerable areas, the organization’s ultimate goal is to advance the Gospel, plant churches, and raise disciples among the “hidden and hurting” . Global Hope equips the poor to lead sustainable, flourishing lives in their home countries by focusing on five key areas: nutritious food, clean water, physical and emotional wellness, income generation, and education . Their highly scalable, community-driven model relies on the “Four L’s”—low cost, low tech, local leadership, and local resources—utilizing a 95% indigenous workforce to ensure sustainable success . Uniquely bridging the gap between the least and most advantaged by working alongside both rural villages and world leaders out of Geneva, Global Hope invites investors to become “Champions of Hope” with a $100,000 commitment over five years to holistically transform communities and multiply their redemptive impact.
