For more than 50 years, Project HOPE has been responding to major disasters around the globe, providing health education opportunities for local health care workers and improving the health of women and children.

Project HOPE, in partnership with Eli Lilly and Company, is conducting a five-year program in the states of Andhra Pradesh and Haryana with the Public Health Foundation of India and Population Services International called Project UDAY (Uday means "dawn" or "sunrise" in Hindi). The UDAY program is training a variety of health care providers and community health workers in cost-effective methods to prevent and manage diabetes and hypertension.

For over 50 years Project HOPE has been making HOPE happen, delivering lifesaving medicine and medical supplies, health education and training to poverty zones around the world. Right now, Project HOPE is preventing disease…promoting wellness…saving lives…one child, one family at a time. You can make HOPE happen too.
