Humanitarian Assistance
Relief & Development: A Humanitarian Response
The mission of Project HOPE’s Humanitarian Assistance program is two-fold; provide emergency assistance where disasters strike and strengthen Project HOPE’s educational programs and facilities with medicines and medical product.
While Project HOPE is not always among the first organizations to bring medical products into an area affected by a natural or man-made disaster, Project HOPE’s strategy is to provide long-term access to vital medicines and supplies, even after the attention of the outside world has moved on to other issues.
Project HOPE also supports its international health education programs with donated product – items like pharmaceuticals, medical supplies, and equipment – supplied by some of the world’s leading corporations. These products range from sophisticated medical equipment used to teach the latest surgical techniques in emerging countries to life-saving antibiotics. Since 1987, Project HOPE has shipped more than $1 billion in humanitarian assistance around the world.
