Creating Hope International (CHI) is a unique organization that recognizes that indigenous organizations often know what a community needs and do better work in helping the people in their community to meet their needs. Rather than try and tell local organizations what to do,CHI provides support to local organizations, at their request, around the world to assist those organizations to do their work more effectively. Presently, CHI provides technical support to the Afghan Institute of Learning (AIL), one of the largest female-led Afghan NGOs in Afghanistan. It also supports a project with Tibetan refugees in India and healing groups in the U.S.
