Project HOPE - The People-to-People Health Foundation, Inc.

My husband and I are donors to Project HOPE. We support the work because so many people need healthcare - during emergencies marginalized populations need the help the most and Project HOPE delivers. Also, its work helping migrant women is important to us. Safe deliveries and healthy babies are a priority for the organization.

Project HOPE is an admirable organization doing good work around the world to support health care workers and communities when they need it the most. I have followed their work for many years since the ship was travelling the world providing care. I love the work that they are doing now to help communities in the hardest of situations and through all types of emergencies- in the US and in far off places.

I first learnt about Project Hope during the pandemic when I was looking for ways to help. My experience has been excellent and positive. I like that it provides support and resources worldwide. In addition to disaster and humanitarian aids, medicine and medical supplies; it also provides services to fill the gaps that might be overlooked by some larger organizations, such as mental health support, health workers training, strengthening health systems, maternal and newborns care, etc.

A fellow streamer and I did a 24-hour stream to raise funds for Project Hope, the team was responsive to assist us with all the setup for our donation site as well as answered all questions we had about the cause. They provided swag that we were able to give away to our viewers and the work that they did was amazing to say the least. Project hope is an organization that not only do i want to help and work with in the future but deserves to be recognized for the efforts they do around the world to help those that are in need!

Hello, my name is Pat (MoshPatt) I am a content creator on Twitch who participates in charity campaigns with Project Hope. They are always amazing to work with. Evan especially, makes himself available to answer questions and provide support when needed. The whole organization seems very passionate about their work and that passion spreads to the creators and people they work with!

Project Hope has been incredibly collaborative with the creators that want to support it. The staff are incredible and consistently get results for the people that need it most. Their devotion to humanitarian aid is world class and I'm grateful that I can be a small cog in their great humanitarian machine.

We, Bentley Systems, became aware of the work Project HOPE was doing at the beginning of the pandemic back in 2020. When we were looking for a global organization that was on the ground helping people where we wanted to make an impact, Project HOPE was literally everywhere we wanted to be.

Every time we wanted to help those in need, Project HOPE was already there doing the most important work - ensuring people were being treated like people and cared for by fellow humans.

We can't express our thanks enough for the amazing partnership Project HOPE has been for us. Every. Single. Time.

They are so thankful, so helpful, so kind, and so generous themselves! When anyone asks who our favorite partners are, Project HOPE is always at the top of the list!

Project Hope is absolutely wonderful! They are amazing to work with (as seen from the eyes of a moderator of a streamer that is partnered with them) and do so much good! I've donated as well, and know for a fact that the money goes where it's stated it will go, no hidden anything.

Project Hope is doing fantastic work, both with on-the-ground services and with educational materials. They are constantly engaging in social media to stay current with world events, whether that is women's health, overseas conflict or the pandemic. They provide factual information regarding health crisis situations as well as transparency regarding the way funds are spent and the hands-on work they are completing. They engage with stakeholders, donors and volunteers equally, growing an engaged and supportive community built on helping the world one individual at a time.

I found Project HOPE through the streaming platform Twitch, and from the beginning I knew the organization helps those worldwide, for many different reasons and that really stuck with me. I love supporting them and their mission, and will continue to do so to reach as many people as they can.

Project Hope has done amazing work for a lot of people and they're truly saving lives! Big fan of what they do and I will continue to support them!

Project Hope has been an absolute delight of a charity to work with. They're incredibly responsive and transparent. You know how you're helping with your donations and the causes they stand for are incredibly important to me.

Its difficult to find a good charity to give to. Far too many are not transparent with what they actually use funds for, what they accomplish, and how your contributions actually make a different.

When the crisis in Ukraine happened, I wanted nothing more than to do some good and help out in any way that I could. Fortunately for me, Project Hope had a response team up and running and collecting funds right away.

They were clear about their mission and their purpose, upfront about what donations meant, and very non-political, which I like. Healthcare as a human right is one of my own ideals, so its nice to see a charity that shares that vision.

Not only does this charity make me feel like my donations actually do make a difference, but they are incredibly grateful for every single dollar that they take it, rather than seeing it as an expectation.

The people that I have met for Project Hope that handle outreach are kind, warm, passionate, and most of all really do just want to do good in the world in any way that they can.

Project Hope has done so much more than just respond to the situation in the Ukraine, but they champion mental health and general wellness across the globe. Your money, time, and efforts are in safe hands with Project Hope.

Over the last 2 years I have become very familiar with Project Hope and the work being done around the world. Project Hope has created a legacy of impact but the most impressive measurable to me is the current work being done. In more detail they are effective in their mission, efficient with their funds, and deeply rooted in caring for those hurting the most. I am personally honored to know Project Hope and inspired that organizations like them exist in this world. Project Hope has many stories of impact and sustainable change in communities that need support. I personally am honored to be apart of this organization.

I joined the Board of Project Hope because I had heard of the great work they were doing to help with outreach in Africa, and with Covid response in the US. Since joining, I have been humbled and blown away by the scale of the work this organization is doing and has done for decades across the globe that far exceeded my initial understanding.
Project Hope has a model that focuses on sustained impact by training local healthcare workers and supporting local communities so they can recover, grow and thrive long after Project Hope's initial outreach. As a mother of 4, I have a particular passion for helping mothers and children, and Project Hope's programs to support maternal health, infants and children have created significant inroads. Most recently, Project Hope helped women and children who had been displaced by the conflict in Ukraine. The scale of these efforts was and is tremendous- and importantly- goes beyond immediate triage (which is clearly critical) but also to focus on mental health after trauma. When Project Hope commits to support a disaster, man-made or natural, they deliver- not just in that acute moment, but far after the news story has moved on. This is one of the many elements that make Project Hope different.
Lastly, I have learned so much from the selfless leaders of Project Hope. CEO Rabih Torbay sets the standard high for prioritization, transparency and personal commitment to the mission of Project Hope.
I am incredibly proud to be a small part of the massive good this organization is doing across the globe.

I've been making monthly gifts to Project HOPE for a few years now, and I continue to give because of the impact of the organization. I can go their page on Facebook and see photos and videos showing their work, or get updates in their newsletters. Recently they have provided major support to the people of Ukraine, and last year when COVID surged in India, they helped provide equipment and supplies. Outside of the emergencies, they're doing a lot of work every day to train health workers. That is so needed always, but right now that is particularly important with COVID. They are also very helpful when I need to make any changes to my monthly gift. A great organization!

I was about to make a donation to Project Hope after reading the evaluation here, but then I remembered to check what the CEO makes. To my surprise he makes over 600K a year ! No employee of any charity should be enriching him/herself to the tune of 600K a year. When I donate to charity, I expect my money to go to those in need not in a CEO's pocket. My money will go elsewhere.

Have you ever seen Carter Hall where the Project Hope Offices are located? It is one of the most extravagant and historical mansions in Virginia. Why would a charity have their headquarters in such a extravagant, luxurious and historical place? I believe if you dig into their books you will find something fishy.

Attracted dedicated, generous professionals with great intentions. But people felt "used" as the emphasis seemed to be on taking photos for P-R, recruitment, and fundraising purposes and emphasized photos of local/ native people's, especially children, somewhat posed and often intrusive objectification with little regard for privacy.they certainly get good value for money as they require the volunteers to pay all the expenses associated with their volunteer work ( although in some cases, they are getting food and housing through U.S. military). It is hard for volunteers not to feel taken advantage of, however, when one sees the salary and travels of the CEO, Dr. Howe or other staff's unnecessary and not substantive site visits. In the end, it is good work, and one can feel good about it if you think of Project Hope as merely a middleman that hooks the professional up with the organization doing the work, such as military. Not sure that Project Hope fills its side of the bargains hen it also includes in its contingent new associate degree graduates without any work experience and categorizes them in a specialty. Perhaps this is because Project Hope is not clear about how it wants to be identified and the essence of the service it wants to be known for providing -- simply bodies or real expertise that can be shared with host country counterparts. What's the value it intends to add -- qualitatively and quantitatively?

Hi,

This missions seems to be very difficult but I believe nothing is impossible. I really wish people of our world stop hating, abusing and cheating each other. Female's should get freedom so that they can freely do any work and study without any fear. Security for people so that they can feel safe. Stop Crimes, Robbery, Terrorism and Jealousy. We all can unite. This small effort will really work if we all unite we can really make this mission possible. Then this world will be a better place to live in. I want to see a smile on everyone's face want to see everyone happy. I want to make a Charity Foundation one day Hope that dream will come true Insha ALLAH.

I was honored to serve as a bilingual public health educator and triage nurse in latin America on the USNS Comfort in 2007 AND 2008. I visited seven countries and provided care to thousand of people. The compassioin and kindness I witnessed but moreover was given in doing this important work was life changing. I remember a young man who had suffered a severe brain injury in a motor vehicle accident being brought to our clinic in Guatemala . he had already gone through rehabilitation in Guatemela City but his parent had driven seven hours to see us oping we could give them information on how to further help him. We worked for hours tring to make contacts. We all were so moved by his parents hope in us. Eventually we did make contacts that woud eventually provide him some further treatment back in the capital. I family walked two days from their mountain village to see us about a speciic issue. We did provide care and as they started to leave for the two day walk back to their home the mother turned to me and gave me a big hug.. She said thank ou God bless you in Spanish and it was so heartfelt i cried when she left. The mothers and childen, all who came to us demonstrated such courage and such strength. I was honored to be there. It is difficult to describe what it is like to ride into a medical site whee 600 people are waiting for the medical team and as our bus arrives the entire crown breaks into cheering because we have come to help them. Little do they know how mch they give to us. It is about great hope and great faith that hearts and minds come together to share our humanity. That is what the PROJECT HOPE cause is all about.....our shared humanity.

PH focuses on sustainability by helping developing nations work with scarce resources. This provides for long-term results, not short term patches,

I became a member of the Project HOPE's Board six years ago. While I am well aware of the thousands and thousands of lives saved and people whose well-being has improved, the meaning of HOPE came home to me when I met a ten year old boy --- full of energy with a smile on his face --- in the hallway of a hospital in Beijing This child would have died as an infant had not Project HOPE provided and continued to provide medicine to him each and every day. I take pride in being part of an organization where employees, volunteers and Board members are committed to putting smiles on the faces of children around the world.

I was included in a group that toured Project HOPE's projects in Wuhan, Shanghai, and Beijing China in 2008. I saw first-hand the grateful appreciation of Nursing students at Wuhan University, AIDs patients, the parents of children injured in the Sichuan Province earthquake, the parents of heart patients at the Shanghai Children's Medical Center, and the pleas from the Minister of Health in Beijing.

I was helping on a mission in the USNS comfort as a translator here in Nicaragua, they came with the mission to help people with different illness... It was so great to help so many people

My life with Project HOPE began in 2005 with the USNS Mercy in Indonesia after the tsunami. What an exciting and rewarding experience! After that came: Katrina ( also an interesting experience), humanatarian efforts in Paupa New Guinea, Micronesia, Ghana and most recently in Haiti at Albert Schweitzer Hospital. The people I have known and loved during these experieces are memories to last a lifetime. I am proud to have been a part of this wonderful organization. JoAnne Machin, RN

I have volunteered for Project Hope since the Earthquake in Nias in 2005. it was the first attempted to partner the US Navy with NGOs. It took a while for us to figure out each others role on the ship US Mercy but we soon learned what was expected and how to work well together. Since then Project Hope has responded to other disasters and remained in the country's after everyone else has left. To help educate and continue to rehab victims. This is the case inHaiti after so much cholera and traumatic amputations had occurred. recently I traveled with Project Hope to Benin and Togo, Africa. We set up Health clinics and preventive education for the people there. this was during the time of the death of Ambassador Stevens. Despite that we felt safe and secure with our Navy and Marine partners. Project Hope takes care of its volunteers and remains in the country after everyone else has left!

Project HOPE is a global health and education and humanitarian aid organization. It has programs in over 35 countries throughout the world. The organization is involved with public health programs as well as disaster relief programs. Although Project HOPE has many beneficial programs programs, one that stand out to me is its Orphans and Vulnerable children program in Namibia. In Namibia, Project HOPE helps teach young people about HIV prevention and teaches parenting skills to guardians of those who have been orphaned due to AIDS. I am a volunteer at Project HOPE in the Communications Department. I have been helping to spread the word about HOPE's great programs for the past three months.

I have volunteered twice for tsunami relief and humanitarian aid in Indonesia. Awesome experience.

I too struggle with giving to this org. and others like it where the CEO receives a salary that seems excessive. on one hand i know that non profits like any body else need to hire competent people to run their organizations and also need to compensate them well to keep them. I know hat they devote a lot of time work and effort on behalf of the org. and probably do a lot of traveling too. however on the other hand they are working for a charity whose goal is to.help people and the more you pay out in salary and administrative expenses is less $ for the mission of the org. also since this is a Charity should not the leaders be expected to make some sacrifices on the matter of salary and benefits vs working for a private company

The Basrah Children's Hospital opened in October 2010. Its focus is caring for children with cancer. Unfortunately, children in Southern Iraq have cancer rates 8 to 10 times higher than children in the West.

The Basrah Children's Hospital - the first new hospital built in Iraq in more than 30 years - is an example of Project HOPE's diligence to make sure the health needs of children are addressed.

Please visit the link below to view a video about the hospital. http://www.projecthope.org/where-we-work/southeast-asia-middle-east/iraq.html

Come on Project Hope - update your website with the truth about the Basra Children's Hospital in Iraq that you said that would be opened in 2006, then 2007, 2008....It still isn't opened, and you never had the integrity to admit that as a US Defense contractor, you don't want to ruffle their feathers. I encourage anyone considering working with Project Hope to understand that they are working for the US Defense Department, just as USAID did in Vietnam. You won't be considered as a neutral aid worker by anyone in the field.
