Giving Tuesday 2020:
Celebrate Health Care Superheroes
When we needed them most, they answered the call. Now you can, too.
Health care workers have sacrificed all year in the fight against COVID-19. Now is your chance to give back by supporting Project HOPE’s critical work around the world.
Project HOPE is delivering protective equipment, training, and mental health support to health care workers on the front lines of COVID-19.
This year alone, Project HOPE has delivered more than 11 million pieces of PPE, trained over 83,000 frontline personnel, and deployed expert medical volunteers to help fight the greatest public health crisis of our lives.
But our work is not done. The world’s health care workers have never needed our support more than they do now.
Join us in thanking and honoring #HealthCareHeroes by sharing their stories, donating in their honor, and spreading the word.
Stories From The Front Lines
The fight against COVID-19 is filled with unsung heroes. Meet some of the men and women helping stem the tide of COVID-19 in Navajo Nation.

Meet Lisa
Nurse Lisa Olsen deployed as a Project HOPE volunteer to provide surge staffing in Harris Health System in Houston, Texas.
“Tonight, just when I feel as if I don’t have the energy to pull one more gown over my head, a voice on the intercom overhead says, ‘We have successfully discharged another COVID patient.’ … It’s the perfect motivation to keep moving.”
Meet Angella
Angella is a trusted nurse and mentor to new mothers at Bo District Hospital in Sierra Leone. She helps premature and low-weight babies survive the first, and most dangerous, days of life.
Training health care workers like Angella is at the heart of HOPE’s mission. Around the world, we work to empower nurses and midwives with the training and tools they need to save lives.

Meet Mary
Mary Sebert deployed as a nurse to provide surge support in the hard-hit Navajo Nation in Arizona.
“Working with the Chinle staff and the patients was an extremely positive cultural experience for me. I saw compassion and kindness — among each other, and among the volunteers working in the hospital. It heightened the desire in me to see all of America striving for a more connected, respectful society.”

Meet Dr. Tekleab Zaid
In Ethiopia, Project HOPE is responding to COVID-19 in the hardest-hit parts of the country.
“One thing people may not realize about Ethiopia is that it’s growing in many dimensions and has seen many national achievements … I’m motivated by the opportunity to create change by combining development work with local capacity.”
