Today, on the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty, we honor the dignity and dreams of people living in poverty.🌎 We believe poverty doesn’t stem from a lack of potential, but of a lack of opportunity. Circumstances outside of people’s control—from their family of origin to where they were born—often bar men and women from accessing capital, education, and employment. But there’s hope. Worldwide, we see families facing each day with creativity, resilience, and determination to build a better future. And countless organizations are removing barriers so these men and women can access the tools they need to thrive. This day reminds us why we dream beyond scarcity and injustice. When we work together, we can begin to accelerate the end of poverty in all its forms—one person at a time. Join us in bringing Gospel hope and financial services to the most marginalized groups: https://lnkd.in/eid9kib3

About us
Based in Lancaster, PA, HOPE International (HOPE) is a Christian faith-based, 501(c)(3) non-profit organization investing in the dreams of families in the world's underserved communities as we proclaim and live the Gospel. Why Christ-centered financial services? We believe families in poverty have the God-given talents and skills to provide for their families. What they don’t have is a lump sum of money to invest in their potential—by paying school fees, saving for the future, or investing in businesses. Two billion people around the world do not have access to financial services. 91 percent of adults in high-income countries have an account compared to just 28 percent in low-income countries. We desire to see men and women around the world find their soul’s satisfaction in Christ and become dignified, hope-filled providers in their families and communities. In obedience to Christ’s command to love our neighbor and make disciples of all nations, HOPE International provides discipleship opportunities, biblically based training, a safe place to save, and loans. We offer these services through two models: 1. Savings groups are groups of individuals who save their money together in partnership with the local church. As they build a secure sum of money, members often take out loans from their group to pay for household expenses or invest in businesses. 2. Microfinance institutions are banks designed to serve entrepreneurs in poverty by providing loans, a safe place to save, and other financial services to help men and women invest in their businesses and provide for their families. We have a heart for underserved areas. In some cases, we start a HOPE-managed program; in others, we partner with an existing Christ-centered ministry. Together, the HOPE network consists of microfinance institutions and savings group programs working throughout Africa, Asia, Eastern Europe, and Latin America. www.hopeinternational.org

Praise God: Multiple savings groups in Benin have recently completed their first full cycle of saving together!💰 Through shared savings and loans to one another, multiple groups have invested in their families and businesses—and successfully repaid and redistributed funds in their first “share-out.” One group even used part of their share-out to donate four bags of cement to help their church install floor tiles. What a beautiful example of unity and generosity in action. 🙌

When Sonia Solis first heard about Diaconía, HOPE’s microfinance partner in Paraguay, she was earning minimum wage and struggling to cover the basic needs of her four children. But Sonia had a dream: running her own business from home so she could provide for her family and be present with them. With her first loan from Diaconía in 2015, Sonia purchased produce and other home products to sell. Ten years and ten loans later, Sonia has built a thriving business selling produce, home goods, and homemade meals!

Good news: despite the ongoing war, HOPE Ukraine recently celebrated two major milestones! ✅ Achieving 100% operational self-sufficiency (OSS) ✅ Doubling their loan portfolio to $3 million since Russia’s full-scale invasion began in 2022 Together, this means more capital is getting in the hands of Ukrainian entrepreneurs—especially as more commercial banks have stopped lending. Praise God for how these entrepreneurs are strengthening their businesses, creating jobs, and rebuilding communities!
