Creating Hope International (CHI) was founded on a vision of improving the daily lives of the undeserved, often silent victims of world strife, devastating natural disasters, crumbling economies, and political systems which suppress natural human rights. In the wake of these natural or human-made disasters, everyday people like you and I struggle to obtain those things which we most often take for granted: food, shelter, health care, employment and education. Lacking these life necessities, people are deprived of the self-dignity and self-determination so crucial to the human spirit. In response to the these needs, CHI begins projects with grassroots organizations to help them respond with local solutions when they face problems. Rather than short-term grants or limited-impact charity work, CHI invest in building local education and health resources and training people with the skills they need to continue the work on their own in the future. In the process, we restore their self-confidence, help them develop expertise, and assist in creating new, thriving communities out of the ashes of the old.
