Together in Hope's mission is to empower lives and communities globally. We envision a world where all children have enough to eat, can go to school, have access to quality health care, and where all parents can find jobs and provide for their families. Together in Hope believes that if we all work together, in hope, each doing what we can, we can make that vision a reality and give those living in poverty a future with hope. We work with some of the world’s poorest communities in the Philippines, El Salvador and Ethiopia. These are communities unreached by international development organizations. We work with these communities to help them break the cycle of poverty and give them a future with hope. Our model hinges on the perspective that to empower a community living in poverty, the community must be involved in every step of the program and that they must own the project. Together in Hope does not walk into a community and create change; we wait to be invited by local community leaders to work with the community toward empowerment. The community is the main decision maker and they decide the programs they need to become self sustainable. Together in Hope comes alongside that effort and works with the local community to implement these programs. Our main goal is to empower poor communities and to leave as little foot print as possible. This model is built upon shared leadership amongst the community. The local community plays an active role in the project identification, planning, implementation, and monitoring. As a community grows and develops, Together in Hope is there to assist with educational and nutritional support, job and livelihood training, and health care support. By empowering communities to self-define and self-actualize, Together in Hope seeks to break the cycle of poverty, giving community members and families a future with hope.
