World Hope International is registered in Sierra Leone under the Ministry of Planning and Economic Development (MoPED) as a development and faith-based registered charity organization. WHI’s vision is to provide those in need with opportunity, dignity, and hope so they can possess the tools for change in themselves, their family, and their community, supporting all people regardless of ethnicity, gender, race, or religion. WHI began providing relief to victims of Sierra Leone’s civil war in 1997 to work with those suffering from poverty and to provide relief assistance to those internally displaced by the war, including amputees who had suffered at the hands of rebel forces. Today, WHI supports Community Health and Nutrition, Clean Water and Energy, Protection, and Social Venture programming throughout the country. WHI is supported by UNICEF, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the European Union, Innovate UK, International Finance Corporation, UNOPS,and other individual donors, churches and foundations. CORE VALUES WHI programs are developed within the framework of four core values: • Transformation: Individuals and communities are transformed into ones with dignity and wholeness when the redemptive power of Jesus works in and through the local faith community to bring spiritual, social, economic, and physical change. • Sustainability: Lasting impact is realized through locally sustainable programs. • Empowerment: Development occurs to the extent local communities, leaders, and individuals are empowered to affect change. • Collaboration: The means of development are demonstrated through partnering with the local faith community, other like-minded organizations, and individuals.
