Point Hope Inc

I gave to Point Hope because they share to people who have little to none. When I started working with them I was able to tell they meant business. They always include the Lord in what they do. I learned more about Christ through working with them. They enrich the lives of people in and out their community. I’m so excited to continue being on their board.

I can’t lie.. I was truly impressed but I didn’t know that they were so heavily involved in their community. This organization works with folks in Africa and the states. It’s cool to see people take their love for God internationally. One thing I did appreciate was that the office was easy to find and they always pick up their calls

Very essential work. Everyone was accepting and kind. I admire the other volunteers too they were kinda cool. Are you guys open for volunteers during COVID?

I donate to Point Hope because they are needed in today’s world. They share the light of Christ and the love of Christ with others. When I donate they make me feel appreciated. They surely are a blessing.

This NGO really does what God says for us to do... well and they go beyond! They accept volunteers as long as you call in and go apply on their website at pointhope.org.
I can’t wait to volunteer again next year! Hopefully everything will be open again’❤️

I didn’t have a bad experience but I wish they were open all year round. They just do such a good job with helping people internationally and locally. Can’t wait for their next project opening

Dude, u loved working here for the summer. Can you say “GOD’s WORK”?!! They represent God in ways I’ve never seen before!

I wished I had more time to spend with this organization before switching states. The atmosphere was very welcoming. They take their time to get to know you as a volunteer and they provide great hospitality. The workers really care about their community and it shows

Such an amazing team! Charitable work and the office was so neat! Can’t wait to volunteer again for sure!

This was a pretty cool organization to work for. I think they got really great staff and the right objective. Idk pretty dope

I give to point hope because I believe the work that they do is essential. People who would otherwise would go unnoticed can get the help that they need to thrive through the services of point hope.

Wonderful organization that helps kids domestically and internationally. This organization put the needs of kids before anything else. The willingness to help kids and families in Africa as well as kids in the United State foster care system, is a huge task in which they have no plans on ever stop pursing. They inspire to be the voice for children who have no voice, and they want the whole world to know all kids matter!

We give to point hope not just because giving is what we are called to do, we give to point hope because we are confident that the work that they do is essential to the growth of the community that they serve. The services that they provide enrich people's lives, people who would otherwise would go unnoticed can get the help that they need to thrive through the services of point hope.

Point Hope Ghana is a phenomenal non-profit organization that seeks to help vulnerable and needy people no matter who you are.
Children, aged and vulnerable are well taken care of, they are fed, clothe, given quality education and house if necessary.
There is not any better organization i would have ever wish to be associated with then Point Hope.
God bless Point Hope

Point hope is an organisation which focuses more on children. They provide children with health care, education, rehabilitate children from malnourishment, provide skills training to parents, they provide Forster care for children without families. And Point hope serves as family to those who don't have families. More strength and more resources to point hope for their hard works.

They implement sustainable interventions to improve the life n well-being of the vulnerable populations they serve in Africa and in the USA.

It's difficult to describe how important Point Hope is to my life and the lives of thousands of people. Point Hope has been my primary charity of choice for many years now because of the way they help. Rather than giving people a handout, like so many other charities do which result in dependence on being given things rather than learning a sustainable way to live. The children participating in Point Hope are fed three square meals a day as well as going to school and learning life skills. Their parents are taught HOW to support their family by organic farming, sewing with native fabrics, building, and every other need they might have is filled with the goal being both to have independence and have the skills and knowledge to meet your family's needs and those of others. I feel like I could say so, so much more but suffice to say if every charity devoted to helping and feeding others were run the way Point Hope is, there would be a lot less number of people starving in this world. Additionally, and certainly not as a footnote, Point Hope is involved in the foster care system in America working towards finding "forever homes" for children before they age out of the system. I sincerely hope that you find Point Hope's mission statement and complete follow through on everything to be what you're looking for in a truly wonderfully run organization.

PointHope Ghana assisted three RIT students and me when we traveled from USA to Ghana to conduct research. PointHope’s integrated community projects in Buduburam and Krisan refugee settlements were great learning resources for my students. PointHope has a committed team who worked with us both day and night! Their connections with the refugees, the neighboring communities and other existing projects are remarkable!
Our research experiences in Ghana are richer because of PointHope’s community projects, their willingness to assist my students connection with other nutrition-related projects. PointHope also coordinated some of our local non-academic activities that contributed to the broader understanding of the Ghanaian and refugee nutrition context.

I had gone to Ghana with an instructor and two other students from RIT - a university in New York State. As soon as I arrived with the two other students, two individuals from Point Hope were there waiting for us. They helped us carry our luggage and they drove us back to the Point Hope house. We were able to stay in the guest house for the two days we would be in the area and everyone was so nice and welcoming. They even prepared amazing meals for us while we were staying. One of the members of Point Hope stayed with us throughout our trip, putting his life at hold to drive us to our interviews and other various destinations. I am so grateful for Point Hope. This organization allowed us to accomplish things, that otherwise would have been undoable.

Point Hope saves lives! The very name implies the very thing it gives: HOPE!
I am so honored to sow into the lives of all of those helped by Point Hope!

I have been with Point Hope since the beginning and have traveled to Ghana many times.
I can testify to the wonderful stewardship of the money and talents given to it and that
the programs continue to help children in the USA and in Ghana.

Many lives have been saved especially in Ghana due to the implementation of a comprehensive fresh water project and ongoing nutritional programs.

I am honored to be a small part of Point Hope and look forward to continuing with it
in the tears to come.

Point Hope is the voice for helpless children. The organization saves children's lives. Point Hope teaches families the basic essential to live a healthy life, including providing access to safe water and a sustainable solutions to hunger. Due to the founder, Delilah Renee's commitment and financial support, 100% of donations go directly to the people in need.
Working with Ms. Renee is truly inspirational.

There are many international nonprofit organizations out there that deviate from the true value and meaning of helping others to the best of their capacity, and utilize volunteers as a means to sustain their own business. Point Hope Inc is not one of them.

I have never worked with such a warm, welcoming, and hard working organization. Point Hope Ghana is doing everything they can to make a difference in their immediate and surrounding communities. The in-country director Adam Sandow is amazing, working hard every day while supporting his loving family. I also had the pleasure of meeting the US Executive Director Jan Haynes while I was in Ghana, and she truly puts everything she can into this organization.

Point Hope Ghana is a family, one that I was sad to say goodbye to when I left Ghana, and one I look forward to saying hello again to in the future. The staff members do everything they can in their capacity to make your stay as comfortable as possible, and with the projects they work on they put in 110% effort every time.

The work that they are doing goes far beyond what is required, and they make sure that your problems become their problems so you can work on them together. I would highly recommend becoming involved with Point Hope Inc in whatever capacity you can, whether that is donating or volunteering, what you give will make a difference.

Seeing Point Hope grow from nothing to the new buildings, the farming and irrigation system shows that a lot of hard work and prayer has taken it from nothing to a blessing. Speaking with the Ghana Point Hope director and worker is inspiring and loyalty they have in helping others.

Point Hope is an excellent organization, making a huge impact in the US, Africa and worldwide. As much as they help the areas that they work in, they also extend the same gracious attention and help to their volunteers. Volunteer, it will change your life!

I went to Ghana to do some training on farm equipment and ran into some problems with who we had been working with. Having met Point Hope on the way over there we were able to get with them and see the program they were running. We were able to see how they were workign directly with and for the people. Jan and Adam spent time showing us the culture and how tobe involved. It made our time there enjoyable and productive.

Point Hope's purpose it to serve others through with God's guidance.

The people who dedicate their lives to helping others through this nonprofit are some of the best at what they do; because it's from their heart.

Knowing that children's lives have been saved and that they will continue to grow and learn for a better future reflects the love and dedication of the people of Point Hope.

Loved my time here, it created a great foundation for my adult life. It changed my outlook on many things and I really grew with them. I wish I could do it again!

My husband and I was visiting the country of Ghana in order to do some work there when we came upon Point Hope. We were quickly friended by them and treated with such hospitality! They were gracious enough to show us their work there in Ghana. We were very impressed. We had the pleasure of meeting a team of Liberian refugees who were running water stations and gave such words of thankfulness to Point Hope for helping them get fresh water for their people. Their death rates, due to typhoid, are almost nonexistent due to Point Hopes fresh water lines! We also were given the opportunity to fly to the Northern region and tour a hospital that would make anyone cry at the crude conditions. Yet there among the sick and dying were the many machines and supplies with Point Hope stickers attached to them! What hope they bring to the destitute! My husband and I are excited about the many opportunites Point Hope provides for anyone willing to go and serve in a place where people are so appreciative. Thank you Point Hope for giving these wonderful people and beautiful country a hope even in such poverty!

Point Hope reaches out to children and families both nationally and internationally.While saving children nationally with fostering to adoption scenerios, Point Hope also supports an entire community in Accra, Ghana. This African community melds fresh running water, self-grown native crops and educational opportunities for a population willing to work and learn for their own survival. Point Hope reaches out to many both at home and abroad.

I traveled to Ghana in 2015 and meet Jan from Point Hope walking on the road next to the orphanage we were volunteering at and she invited me and the group of volunteers into her home and they cooked a delicious meal for us and we laughed and got to know each other. I have been in touch with them ever since following the ministry and love to see all the great work they are doing! Jan is one of the nicest and kindest people I've ever met! Love and pray for POINT HOPE!

I've been to Ghana I don't know how many times now 10 to 15. I volunteered with painting the school worked with the childern in villages. In U.S. I've volunteered at the teenista serving the young ladies, with set up and teardown of the event donated money and made donations to the pointhope guesthouse. Tv's and furniture

As I type this, I am taking deep breaths of fresh air while sitting on a porch at the Point Hope guesthouse in Ghana. It's nighttime - around 8pm - and there is a tiny puppy curled up at my feet. I've been here for closer to two months than one, and although I've got over two months left here, I'm already dreading going home. The scenery is nearly as beautiful as the people we serve, and the family-style structure of organization employees and volunteers is breathtaking, welcoming and so loving. Each time I ride into camp or one of the nearby villages, I know that the people will warmly embrace me when they see that I am arriving as part of Point Hope. This happens every single time because they know the people from this organization care deeply. As a volunteer, this is the sort of thing I look for to answer the question of whether or not I am hanging out with credible, honest people. The answer here is always a resounding, "yes!" Between the fresh mango and the way the mothers breathe sighs of relief over receiving food assistance for their hungry children, between the smell of waakye (rice and beans) and the giggles I hear playing football (soccer) with a deaf child, between the schoolchildren running up to me for hugs and the hope in the eyes of people who are finally able to access healthcare because of this organization, between asking the Lord to let me stay even longer and thanking my beloved God above for the opportunity to learn from such wise and kind individuals as those who make up Point Hope - between all of these things, I'm just here, witnessing the goodness and seeing the light of love shining brightly, trying to be a part of it all. I wish every human being could have this experience. But even if you can't come to Ghana, you can still enrich the work being done here through a donation. Every dollar goes to help these precious kids and their families.

There could never be enough good to say about Point Hope; children are alive who would otherwise have starved because of the work they do in Africa; foster youth here in the States are being encouraged and given hope and support. Point Hope is doing good and valuable work to care for those who have no voice.

Point Hope is a way of life. I am so blessed by what it has meant to be apart of this wonderful organization.
I have been privileged to be part of the Teenista, prayer group, Ghana and everyday life.
I wish the world could see the love and dedication that goes into all that is Point Hope.

A great place to let your money make a difference in the lives of people you may never meet

I am the mother, other mother, and grandmother of some of these wonderful people at Point Hope..I can promise these people care very much about those they help and I know that ALL of the money goes to making this charity as wonderful as it seems. It's a true, loving charity.

I have volunteered with Point Hope for a couple years now and it one of the best Non-Profits I know. They walk their talk with the Executive Director Jan Haines loading up containers full of needed supplies and go to Ghana twice a year for months at a time to help the village and people that they started. As well as Ghana they do the Teenesta every year that is like Queen for a day with fostor girls showering them with gifts clothes make overs and a nice dinner. I highly recommend getting involved with Point Hope -it will be a rewarding experience and you will be helping many!` Amy Baril

I find that the work done by this non-profit fills a hole that otherwise would go unanswered.

Point Hope is a fantastic organization. As far as I know 100% of the proceeds go directly to the recipients. The volunteers go several times a year to make sure the charity is running correctly. They give of their time talents and abilities unselfishly. The founder gives a great deal of her own money for this wonderful cause.

I was blessed to walk into a prayer group and meet people who completely turned my heart on.
It began with working at the Teenistia. From there it blossomed into a volunteer postion. Then a trip to Ghana.
It's definitely a place that makes you realize god gives us so much more then we can ever give. Point Hope truly is a voice for forgotten children.

I have had the pleasure to work with Point Hope and I confirm that it is an amazing organization, completely committed and dedicated to help and support the voiceless. It truly makes a difference in the life of the most volunerable people and has inspired me in my career path.

I have worked with them for many years and I am do impressed with what they do.

Excellent non-profit! The values of this organization is unmatched. I'm a donor and volunteer because I share the value base and feel strongly that all money and energy goes directly to those who need it.

My daughter has been in Africa nearly a year, has served with this Point Hope, and it has proven to be a life-altering event for her. The organization is focused on improving the lives of the people of Africa, in particular the children. Giving them "things" is the smallest part of what they really do. They feed and rescue children, but greater than that, they teach and nurture and support their futures. Building schools, helping make sustainable farms, providing work opportunities, and supporting the orphanages is helping them build their own futures. The Point Hope staff she works with from the US and in Africa have been phenomenal in guiding and mentoring my daughter as well. The impact they have made on thousands of people around the world is immeasurable.

I had an amazing opportunity, through the help and support of the founder of this organization, to travel to Accra, Ghana with Point Hope. There are many stereotypes about culture in West Africa and my favorite part about traveling was seeing, hands-on, a little piece of the true culture.

I, along with numerous others, traveled to northern Ghana to a village called Fatenta. We got to witness and teach about agriculture, health and safety, education, and my favorite, how awesome God is!

My experience in Ghana and with Point Hope have encouraged my desire to serve the Lord in ministry. Currently, I am a college student and my experiences have also given me connections with International students and have given me more peace about my major. Overall, I am so blessed to have the Point Hope family to be such an influential part of my life and I am incredibly grateful. It was, and is, evident that they follow where the Lord is calling them and serve others in a life-touching way.

My daughter had the privilege of going with Point Hope to Africa and serving for a month! It was life changing for her to participate in aiding such in need people and children! It left an imprint of how blessed with abundance we are here in America and has put a drive in her to go back and serve again! Seeing what Point Hope does to help people inspired her with stories to share with the rest of us that could not experience it first hand and has had an impact on many other people to give where they can!

I have never seen such commitment to making positive change as I have seen from the team at Point Hope. Everything they do is about helping children with no way to help themselves. They do this with many programs, such as helping the mothers learn skills so they can work and in turn, feed their families and stop the cycle of helplessness. The compassion pours out of every single volunteer. Blood, sweat and tears go into every event, every planned volunteer trip, every single hour of every single day they spend with these vulnerable populations. Having the honor to volunteer with them in Ghana was absolutely life changing for me. This is what real love is.

I point Hope is the most amazing oganization I had ever been involved withThe compassion
n is overflowing. It is a God based program at the very basic level, love thy neighbor, do unto others. Love is woven into all they do.
I have been involved in both the domestic and international. The work in progress should continue.
I pray they win.

Point hope as a voice for the voiceless in society, has provided basic necessities for everyday life in communities they are involved . In Ghana, their presence in the Buduburam refugee camp has provided hope for the people with more emphasis on the neglected children whose parents cannot feed them. Through their nutrition program and improved agricultural practices, a camp which was once greatly relying on external support can now boast of their self reliance and sustenance. Women have been empowered with skills in batik making and many other vocational skills. Money they make from their trade enable them to properly provide for the children and this has gone a long way to also boost their self esteem as a people.
Orphanages are not left out in the work of point hope, many homes are provided food, medication and basic materials that enables them to run properly thus, the kids in the home are well catered for. Currently, point hope is putting up a model village where the face of orphanage homes and their ways of operation are taken to a new dimension. The idea is that, foster homes or orphanages shouldn't be any different from the normal homes most people are privileged to. Every child must be able to grow up in an environment where there are parents so they can be properly guided to become good citizens. Also in their home state, there is an annual program called TEENISTAR, where girls in the foster system are brought together to be treated to things that girls in their ages would do. Although the event is a short one, it has over the years printed fond memories on the minds of the girls.
To talk about point hope and its impact in society would like an author writing a never ending book because there so much to write and talk about. Point hope is a beacon of our time and its my prayer that, God almighty will continue to inspire its leaders and founder to achieve greeter strands wherever they go.

I have volunteered and donated to Point Hope for the last few years. They provide valuable services to refugees in Ghana and teens in the U.S. I have seen them provide a much needed Christmas spirit to teenage girls through their Teenista program. Their staff are not just employees, they live the mission of Point Hope!

Pointhope has provided potable drinking water to over 7000 refugees on the Buduburam refugee camp in Ghana and has also trained 45 parents of malnourished children in general agriculture as a means of livelihood.
This organization since year 2012 remains the ONLY NGO operating and serving refugees in several dimensions.

Point Hope is a shining light in the darkness of this world. They provide so many needed services to children in Ghana, as well as the United States. There are too many things to list....clothing, housing/school construction, clean water procurement...the list is endless. Please help this organization with any amount that you can. They do such important work.

I have been helping Point Hope for a few years and it is a wonderful organization . The people the work for the group are tireless in their fight to have the people of Africa. I love that 100% goes to the charity .

It is a hands on group who are doing great things!!

I was fortunate enough to intern for Point Hope for a summer during college. It was fantastic experience to say the least. I was moved by the scope of what Point Hope was able to do, the results they were capable of getting, and the love that their staff poured into their work each and every day. Point Hope was more than a non profit serving at the Buduburam Refugee Camp, they were part of the community, a safe place where everyone knew they could turn for help. Their vision is awesome-Children are fed and educated, their parents are trained, fresh water provided, and medical care arranged. The results are truly amazing and I know they will continue to do amazing work.

Point Hope is a great organization that does a lot with very little. If there is anything you can give whether time, money or materials it will be well used. Some groups eat up monetary donations in gathering more monetary donations, Point Hope makes every little bit go a very long way to help many, many people. If you do not have money, but are maybe downsizing your home or have good children's clothing or books that have been outgrown you can donate them knowing that they will be put to good use by Point Hope ! You will gain space in your home and the time it takes to figure out where to put all that stuff you Really don't need anymore. AND you will feel better yourself knowing that you have helped !

Point Hope is an amazing organization. They have helped thousands of people in Ghana, West Africa through programs such as Living Water, Agricultural Education, Sewing School, Nutrition Programs for children who were under nourished, Education sponsorship....the list goes on and on. They work tirelessly to bring hope for a brighter future to the people they serve. Here at home their programs focus on children in our very broken foster care system. They help young women through their "Teenista" programs to understand that they are loved and not defined by their circumstances. It's a wonderful organization to volunteer for because you can see what a difference you are making in the lives of the people you are serving.

Point Hope is giving hope to people who have been challenged to experience the things that we take for granted. Good clean water, food, health care, and an education to be able to make changes in the quality of their lives. It's about people helping to make the world a better place. Check it out!

I have had a first hand experience with the programmes of PointHope and have seen them to be very relevant to the needs of the people they serve, cost-effective in their strategies of project implementation, sustainable and run by competent staff and transparent accounting procedures. Very impactful programmes.

Very Knowledgeable people who are all very good at what they do, and know how to make you feel at home when you couldn't be further. A life changing experience. No other group I would rather be with! Powerful network connections, and organized nonprofit that has a passion for helping children and the community.

At Point Hope we work daily to bring hope to those who have no voice, especially children who are in our very broken foster care system, and children who have no families to care for them. Of all the things I have been blessed to do in my life, Point Hope is amongst my greatest work!

I went to Ghana with Point Hope and it was one of the most enriching experiences in my life. Point Hope gave me an opportunity to give back to people and to open my eyes to the need for global help. Jan and Delilah have been two amazing influences in my life both giving a chance to help people and mentoring me along the way I am truly grateful for them and this organization

I have volunteered with Point Hope for over two years, collecting books and school supplies to send to Ghana. Recently, I had the opportunity to travel to Africa with Point Hope, to meet the people that my donations benefit. It was a great experience to see first-hand the love with which Point Hope carries out its work. I was impressed with the school that Point Hope has renovated, giving children a place to learn; with the skills training program so that adults can learn self-sufficiency; and with the nutrition program that provides healthy meals for malnourished children. Perhaps what touched my heart the most were the stories of how children in the refugee camp are no longer dying for want of clean water, because Point Hope saw the need and built water catchments.
The people of Point Hope are gracious and deeply committed to creating safe and nurturing communities around vulnerable children. They make a tangible difference in the lives of the people they serve. They are a wonderful organization!

I've known the director of point hope for 15+ years and have helped them with various projects. I've helped set up a silent auction, and helped drive a truck full of medical supplies, bicycles,school supplies from Portland to Atlanta so the items could be put in a container for Ghana. I'm also sponsoring a student to go to college through Point Hope.

point hope is making a difference in Ghana.

ga i.

I am a commercial photographer who met Point Hope's founder, Delilah, and Executive Director, Jan, while on a photo shoot (unrelated to Point Hope). The story of Point Hope, it's founding, purpose and accomplishments moved me so deeply that I volunteered to create a series of short, web "documentaries" for the organization. in the course of events, I traveled to Ghana and had an opportunity to see, first hand, the difference the organization is making in many many people's lives. Well done, Point Hope.

I have volunteered at Point hope for the past 5 years everything from moving the warehouse goods to working at events. I Been to Africa with them 13 times and have worked with the children and painted to school. They have helped so many people there with skills training to farming. This one of the best non-profits organization in the country I wish more people would help them.

I volunteered with Point Hope Inc at their Teenista Event, which benefits and serves children in the US foster care system. The Teenista provided many young ladies with a day filled with pampering. They were able to shop for new clothes, get their hair, nails, and makeup done and so much more. The girls really had an amazing time and I had an amazing time giving back and helping Point Hope be a voice for children.

I also was involved in Point Hope's Stuff the bus event, which was to support foster children in Africa. We collected school supplies, clothes, toys, blankets, and so much more.

I really love that Point Hope Inc helps children in the US as well as in Africa. This is a great organization, that is making a huge different in the lives of vulnerable children.
