Our work saves lives around the world
Since 1958, Project HOPE has worked to save the lives of people in need across the globe, by placing power in the hands of local health care workers. We go where the need is greatest and address today’s greatest global health challenges. By implementing and teaching innovative lifesaving solutions, we help transform health systems and uplift the communities that support them.
We focus on improving maternal, neonatal and child health; fighting infectious and noncommunicable diseases; and responding to disasters and health crises.
