Charities
We are a UK based humanitarian aid charity with volunteers spread throughout the UK. We are 100% volunteer led. Nobody takes a salary so all of the money you donate ends up in the hands of those who need it. Regional teams join together between two and four times a year to form a convoy of aid trucks driving for up to six days to reach our destination. Our current focus is the migrant crisis in Greece. With in excess of 60,000 refugees stranded in Greece at the moment this is where we see the greatest humanitarian aid need. The charity started in 1999 during the Balkans War and have supported the Balkans, Kosovo in particular throughout this period. Our last onvoy to Kosovo was in October 2016 as there is still a huge humanitarian need there. If practical, and achievable, we will respond to other world emergencies. Vulnerable individuals and families are identified for us by our partner NGO's in country who assist us to deliver the aid directly into the hands of the most needy. Working this way we can identify exact aid requirements and ensure these items are sourced prior to the departure of the convoys.
Orphanages do not protect children. They harm them. Which is why we are working towards a day where every child can grow up in a loving family. Hope and Homes for Children is a global expert in the field of deinstitutionalisation - supporting children into loving families and preventing family breakdown.
Hope assists disadvantaged and disabled children in developing countries and the UK and is committed to furthering this work through voluntary effort.
The current vision is to establish a hospital in Cap-Haiten in the north of Haiti. Beyound this we have a desire to deliver health care to remote parts of the country and inner city slums. We also work with children with disabilities, seeking to raise the level of support and care to children with various needs. The earthquake that hit Port-au-Prince on January 12th 2010, changed Haiti irrevocably. We have been playing a key role in bringing rehabilitation to a nation. We have been caring for injured victims and bringing relief to affected families. The future for us is standing with the people of Haiti and lending a strong hand as they rebuild their country. We have a health centre, outreach clinic, ambulance, children's home, SCI centre and rehab and now a cholera treatment centre.
Hope Spring is a water, sanitation and hygiene poverty alleviation. We work in sub-Saharan Africa, to help the most vulnerable communities to access clean water, sanitation and basic hygiene.
