Thanks to your donations, HOPE worldwide’s team was able to multiply your support into delivering millions of dollars’ worth of aid and supplies where it was needed most. Because of our long history and our good standing with many global humanitarian programs and government entities, we were also blessed to be able to leverage our network of volunteers and trusted partners in Ukraine to get things done in areas where few could operate safely.

As HOPE worldwide reflects on two years of relentless efforts in Ukraine, the journey underscores the power of compassion, solidarity, and resilience in times of crisis. Sadly, this type of story is happening in many places around the world.
