Become part of the HOPE Family

We are delighted that you are interested in joining HOPE.
HOPE is all about people, in particular linking up people who live in Japan with people who live in the developing world.

 

Since it began in 1975, HOPE International has helped over 13 million people climb out of debilitating poverty. By becoming a partner you will help extend HOPE to those who are in desperate need of it.

 

HOPE believes that clean water is the basis from which education, employment, health care and sustainable food production can be developed. Those who benefit the most from our work are women, as they are the ones who suffer the most from the lack of water and education. Typically, a woman in a poor rural area of Africa or Asia may have to walk up to five kilometers to collect water, which even then, is often full of deadly bacteria that could slowly be killing her children. Through spring capping and the drilling of wells nearer to, or usually within the village confines, women can now have several hours a day available to be educated, grow cash crops and gain employment. Through our water supply projects, HOPE brings empowerment.

 

There are several levels at which you can become a partner. All require a financial commitment, for ultimately money is necessary to help people climb out of extreme life-threatening poverty. But whether you are an unemployed student or run a multi-million dollar company, there is a way for you to be involved.  While there is no contract, and you can opt out at any time, development work takes time. Therefore, ideally when considering becoming a HOPE partner you may want to think of a minimum commitment of five years.

 

NGO's are still very young in Japan, but as part of the HOPE family you will be part of a growing organization that is a leader in the NGO field.

 

There are three ways that people and companies in Japan can join HOPE:
