Global Partners in Hope

I had the opportunity a few months ago to visit Togo and see firsthand the impact that GPiH is making every day. With such a strong focus on sustainability, I am very impressed with the way they operate as an organization.

I am a nearby college student that had the chance to hear about Global Partners in Hope through amazing testimonials.

after engaging, volunteering and learning about all the work GPiH has done for Togo, Mali behind the scenes was truly amazing.

Global Partners in Hope is one of those impactful projects that is happening right around us. I would recommend everyone to least pay their website a visit or hear about their mission.

I am consistently impressed with the mission and values of this non-profit. They truly operate in a way that makes me proud to be associated with the care they provide.

I am a sailor in the US Navy. Serving this country also opened my eyes to what families in other countries are facing. Some families need just a little support and it will have a very high impact on their current conditions. Cameroon, my home country has a civil war/crisis that has intensely affected the Northwest and Southwest(English Speaking areas). As a result, families are homeless, kids become orphans, families migrate to other regions or neighboring countries for a new start and life has become a living hell for most of them. The people staying back live in fear for their lives from either the government or the freedom fighters.
I decided to follow NGOs like this to get support and ideas to help families affected by these wars in Cameroon. I recently created a page to pass the word and hope I get more people to see these struggles and send aid to these people. Help can be sent via physical stuff to support a kid's education and basic life requirements for survival or contributed to our “GoFundMe” to build temporary housing for some families. Our instagram page is uss_eli1 and please show support at gf.me/u/479rnw.

I have just recently begun volunteering at GPiH after Ian Vickers visited my university class to talk about the wonderful work they do. It seemed so genuine and I've enjoyed reaching out to the other volunteers and beginning my own journey at Global Partners in Hope.

I have worked with and supported GPIH for a while now, and they are the real deal! When searching for a non-profit to support it is important to find organizations whose actions and beliefs you can get behind. Global Partners in Hope cares for it's communities via a wholistic approach, and it is clear that they have also created a home for both sustainability and ethics.

In my experience with Global Partners in Hope, I've seen that they are intentional to engage with their donors and volunteers on a personal level. They do a great job helping people care about something across the world. They also are passionate about and dedicated to transforming lives of babies and mothers.

My journey with GPiH began in a class taught by the passionate CEO, Ian Vickers. Little did I know that this encounter would ignite a fire within me, a deep connection to an organization with a mission that resonated deeply with my own experiences.
As I delved into understanding GPiH's work, I couldn't help but draw parallels between the challenges faced by West African countries and the rural area where I grew up. With a heart brimming with empathy, I decided to join GPiH as an intern, taking on the role of a social media manager. My purpose was clear: to spread the word about the remarkable work this organization was doing. GPiH's focus on French-speaking countries like Mali, Togo, and Benin, struck a chord with me. These were places where profound change was desperately needed, and GPiH was stepping up to make that change a reality.
GPiH's commitment to partnering with local nonprofits to construct deep water wells and clinics, primarily serving women and children, touched my soul. They understood that water is not just a resource; it's life itself. When those wells were established, they breathed new life into entire villages. And those clinics, were more than just buildings; they were sanctuaries for pregnant women, infants, those in emergencies, and anyone in need of medical care.
What made GPiH truly remarkable was its dedication to empowering local professionals. They didn't just build clinics and wells; they ensured that indigenous medical staff had the tools, supplies, and support they needed to run these facilities effectively. GPiH's impact was not fleeting; it was sustainable and driven by the very people it aimed to serve.
The incredible work that GPiH accomplishes, the wells and clinics that stand as beacons of progress, all run by local professionals, is nothing short of impeccable. It's a testament to the power of compassion and dedication, and I am honored to be part of this remarkable journey.

Global Partners in Hope is an amazing non-profit. They are doing great world all across the world. There are not many non-profits that are all helping those in need in a different country. This shows how they are truly committed to helping those in need.

I was able to travel to Agbelouve, Togo in West Africa with this organization. I had a life changing experience being able to learn from extremely knowledgable healthcare professionals and see global health issues firsthand within a community. I felt very safe and comfortable throughout the trip and felt over prepared for our departure if anything! With two meetings beforehand with the team traveling to Africa we were able to set objectives for our trip that guided us to positively impacting the health clinic in the community in an efficient and successful way. I look forward to traveling with GPiH again in the future!

Global Partners in Hope is an incredibly ethical, intentional, mission-driven organization that provides top-notch work to the community it partners with and an immersive learning experience for the student volunteers, like myself, that come along to assist. I hope to join again soon!

Global Partners In Hope is a great organization. Their work in Togo and Mali has been life changing to those who have benefited. Their orientation towards partnership than savior-ship makes them better partners for the communities that accepts to walk with them towards their goal of improving healthcare access.

Personally, I have been able to see the change and prosperity Global Partners brings to the women of West Africa, and more specifically Togo. Their work goes beyond just donating money, they are establishing the foundation to provide hope and support for those who need it!

Everything about my experience with Global Partners in Hope was great! I'm a first year medical student, and a classmate and I traveled to West Africa for a medical missions trip organized by GPiH. From our initial emails all the way through the debrief process, GPiH handled everything professionally and without a hiccup. They were also always available for contact as questions came up. We stayed in their facilities in West Africa and worked at a clinic they had built, and everything was as easy as it could have been. We hope to go on another trip with them soon!!

Global Partners in Hope is unlike any organization I have ever witnessed. Because of their foundational focus on Christ, their work is eternally impactful. Not only is the work of saving African lives through providing water and healthcare powerful, but Global Partners in Hope has a team of board members and staff that care for things deeper than most. They have Christ as their motivation and that leads to making a truly transformative impact. Global Partners in Hope is an absolutely revolutionary organization.

My church has partnered for a long time with Global Partners in Hope, and I have seen and can testify to the work that GPiH is doing in West Africa. They provide real, sustainable solutions to many problems that are faced in Africa. One thing that sets GPiH apart from other non-profits is how this organization works directly with officials in-country in order to provide for the people in the best way they can. These relationships with the country are essential to GPiH's DNA, and are, I believe, vitally important for any organization like GPiH.

Global Partners in Hope exhibits the acts of committed to doing justice and compassion. The work they have done and continue to do in Africa help elevate the lives of those being affected. Since being exposed to this organization they have built water wells and a health center. It is because of their extensive work both in and outside of the states that they are able provide tools essential for living a better life. GPiH takes real pride in the work that they do!

This nonprofit is truly amazing and genuinely cares about the well-being of others. They are addressing the needs of survival in the best way possible.

Changing lives; delivering real, sustainable hope. It will forever be part of my family's story. Thank you, GPiH

I am on the board, and have also been on a medical mission trip to Togo, Africa on their behalf to work with opening up a rural medical clinic in April of 2021. 1st class organization, and proud to be part of the team. They get things done!

I was on a team that helped put on an event for Global Partners in Hope. I do my due diligence when I give time and money to an organization to ensure funds are being used for the right and stated purposes. Global Partners in Hope checked all the boxes and I was very pleased to have been able to help in raising funds for a project to install wells for clean drinking water in Togo.

I started working with Global Partners in Hope as a Volunteer and instantly fell in love with the work they were doing! I have always felt like I wanted to help and make a difference but didn't know where to start. With the smaller size of the team there is so much that can be done without the need to cut through red tape. The people are kind and compassionate and want to elevate the lives of those they serve. They truly care and it really shows.

After taking a closer look at global partners in hope and what they do behind the scenes, I admire the tenacity and diligence the team works with. They are trying to have a quick turnover from receiving fundraising to the next project they are working on. Not to mention the impact what the organization does for the tribes and communities it helps.
(High praise all around)

I have been involved with Global Partners in Hope (GPiH) for about seventh months now and I have had the most amazing experience. I share in the passion for what GPiH is doing around the world to bring real sustainable hope to underdeveloped areas. Since starting at GPiH, I have seen a health center in Togo built, two water wells being built, a health center in Mali, and many other great accomplishments!

Great organization that truly cares about helping others. The work they have done in Mali & Togo has been life changing for so many!

Global Partners in Hope is an amazing nonprofit that does extraordinary work overseas in China and Africa. They are currently building a hospital in Togo, West Africa, and the lives they encounter will forever be changed by the work GPiH does.

This past summer I volunteered with Global Partners in Hope (GPiH). I was able to work with GPiH team and see all of the great work they do firsthand. This organization provides sustainable solutions as they come alongside a community (currently Togo in West Africa) and bring clean water, renewable energy, and a medical center that lifts up the region. GPiH ensures that these facilities are run by the community with local help as they continue on to another vulnerable area. I was struck by Global Partners initiative to engage the Omaha community, even as an international organization. Recently, GPiH, along with MATTER, organized a food packaging that was donated to Abide in North Omaha. This is an organization that has raised communities up through sustainable measures that empowers residents, especially women and children. They truly do provide bridges of hope.

Global Partners in hope has done amazing things to help others. They do a great job of hosting fundraising events in the community.

The people - they are just so wonderful! They truly care for you as an individual, showing you how to serve well by serving well themselves. I've seen them in action in both the States and in west Africa. They are caring without being stifling, available without being authoritarian. And I'm still learning of all the ways they minister to others around the world to the glory of God. Thanks, GPiH, for being a vehicle of active compassion!

GPiH's outreach to people throughout the world is truly amazing. Not only is it helpful in the moment, but it's sustainable aide for people in need. Great nonprofit and a pleasure to work with!!

Global Partners in Hope is a great nonprofit, particularly when it comes to involving volunteers in their work abroad.

This nonprofit is working with underdeveloped countries in Africa to give them sustainability and give them healthcare. Their trips are extremely memorable and the work they are doing is impacting so many individuals globally!

I traveled to Togo, West Africa with Global Partners in Hope this past summer and it was an unforgettable experience. It was both humbling and rewarding to be able to care for hundreds and hundreds of children. The GPIH team was incredibly helpful and welcoming. If I had the chance to volunteer again I absolutely would!

Global Partners in Hope is an amazing organization that helps those who are located not only here in the States, but across the globe as well. I have seen their work first hand by volunteering here at their United States location and also in Togo, Africa. They help those people get what resources they actually need like clean water. They are an amazing organization and I am proud to be a volunteer with them.

GPiH is an amazing organization that works to help develop communities across the globe! By making sure they truly partner with member of the community they work in, they are able to give the community what they actually need, not just what they think the community needs!

I first heard about Global Partners in Hope through a friend, and was immediately intrigued by the amazing work that this nonprofit was doing in Africa and China.

After volunteering for the past three months, I can honestly say this nonprofit is wholeheartedly committed to ameliorating the world around them to provide sustainable hope to those who need it most. The work that they do is truly remarkable. However, I found that the most fulfilling part of volunteering at this nonprofit has been getting to work amongst the amazing employees. They have inspired me, challenged me, and ignited a passion inside of me to make a difference in this world. I am forever thankful for the time I have been able to spend at Global Partners in Hope, and look forward to volunteering for them in the future.

I would highly recommend this organization!

I had the pleasure of joining Global Partners in Hope on a medical mission trip this past June to Togo, West Africa. The work they are doing in the rural villages to bring healthcare and sustainability is inspiring. The trip was well organized, fun, and uplifting. GPiH has wonderful connections and relationships with the citizens of Togo and I look forward to working with GPiH again in the future!

I did some work with this nonprofit last year. I had the opportunity to go to Togo with them and really experience what GPiH's goal is. They really want to bring life into every part of the world. Whether that be energy, water, etc. Very, very cool organization.

Global Partners in Hope was very active in the conception and implementation of projects in West Africa ( Togo).
By its commitment , GPIH installed a solar panel in a village in Togo called Wogba. The village of Wogba is without electricity.This project will help the school and the students to benefit from electricity for example studying at night time or to use to the electricity to power computers.
In addition GPIH is currently working to install a clean water well in the village of Agbelouve (TOGO).
In summary GPIH is doing a pretty neat job helping communities around the world( TOgo; Mali , China ,Kenya ..etc)
Thanks GPIH...

I've been a volunteer project consultant as well as an event volunteer for this nonprofit, and they are fantastic. They're easy to work with, responsive, and welcoming, but most of all, Global Partners In Hope truly cares about their mission, and they've done so much good in the world already. I highly recommend donating to, volunteering for, or working with this organization. You won't regret it!

Getting to team up and participate with Global Partners in Hope has been one of the greatest experiences of my life. This past year I got to travel with them to Togo, West Africa and document some of the work they're doing. My life is forever changed for the better!!

Have been a contributor for many years and they have helped many people in many different countries. Wells and medical clinics and living water. God bless the work they do and to God be the glory forever and ever.

GPiH is very personally invested in their areas of ministry. I appreciate their investment in all of their volunteers, and are wonderful to work with. I especially appreciate their commitment to sustainability in overseas ministry, aiming for not being reliant on ex-pat presence for their work to continue.

I've had the pleasure of translating video footage and correspondance for GPiH on several occasions. I have read and heard firsthand testimony of the work this nonprofit has done in Mali, from people who have directly benefitted from the wells and medical centers funded by this nonprofit. It is truly overwhelming to consider how long rural communities have gone without these basic necessities--GPiH is actively meeting an incredible need, and having a huge, lasting impact on the lives of current and future generations.

When I first found out about Global Partners in Hope, I sent them an email because I wanted to get involved with them. I was impressed with all that they had accomplished, and how they put both thought and heart into what they do. I got a friendly response right away from Justin. Now me and my student organization are helping them fund-raise to build a well in Mali. Justin has gone to great lengths to support my organization in fundraising by helping us plan events, give detailed presentations on campus, and showing up to group meetings.
The best thing about GPiH is how they work with the people they are trying to help; talk to them and listen to them, to make sure that they getting what they need. For example, before installing a well or medical clinic in Mali, they ask local leaders where the need is greatest. GPiH also makes sure there are people in Mali who know how to maintain all structures, so they are not dependent on outside help. GPiH empowers people, and that is why I am proud to help them.

As an instructional leader at our school, I found partnership with GPiH an excellent way to give students service-learning opportunities with both local and global relevance. The staff was highly visible and involved in partnering with us as we designed and implemented service-learning projects and community events to raise awareness and funds for our project. For many students, these events were the highlight of their school year. Not only were students able to give back to our global community, but they were also engaged in learning activities related to our learning standards. Partnership with GPiH was a rewarding experience for students, their families, teachers and staff. The project didn't stop when the funds were raised, GpIH is coming back to give students opportunity to see the impact they made through video and pictures of the installation of the solar panels for a school in Togo, Africa!

Global Partners in Hope has dedicated members that go far beyond the call of duty. Justin drives all the way from Lincoln, NE to Omaha just to make it to meetings. It's hard for me to make it from the painting studio down to the student center on time. He's never late?! As a result, we have gained valuable leadership skills and have been exposed to a number of networking options that make our operations run a lot smoother. Thank You Global Partners in Hope!

As the principal of a Global and International Studies and Dual Language Magnet Center, I appreciate the partnership that we have formed with Global Partners in Hope. This partnership allows our students to be involved in hands on activities that show them that they can make a difference in the world, both locally and globally. It has been an honor to work with GPiH and we look forward to continuing this partnership.

As the Director of Chldren's Ministries at our church, I was looking for a mission project for our Vacation Bible School last summer. Our pastor was familiar with Global Partners in Hope and suggested that I look into the possibility of working with them. Their staff did a great job of sharing their passion for their ministry to children and families in Mali . . . and they did a great job of giving us support as we presented our mission project to the kids. Because of their help, the project went very well. We not only surpassed our fundraising goal, but I felt that the kids' hearts for serving others grew as well. It is obvious that Global Partners in Hope have a passion for what they do - - that they are very organized and professional about how they operate their organization - - and that they are planning carefully and prayerfully for its future.

They're an organization with a good heart. They work hard to better the lives of less fortunate in different parts of Africa by providing fresh water wells, medical clinics, and reliable sources of energy. They also work with student organizations at my university to help raise awareness and educate the public on these issues that need attention.
GPiH is a great nonprofit with a lot of caring people.

GPIH is a life changing experience for everyone involved! As an educator, my eyes have been opened to inequalities around the world. How precious a drop of water truly is to a child, a parent, a friend! Not only does GPIH educate the need for clean water, they assist even the youngest child to understand that helping others is essential! Not only can we make a difference in our city but thousands of miles away! My students are blessed to be a part of the GPIH organization and our heart strings are forever connected to our friends in Mali!

I have volunteered twice for GPiH in 2013. GPiH relies on His wisdom and provision for all its projects. GPiH's work in China is greatly impacting business leaders, families and society. Through various programs GPiH offers, Chinese people learn how to apply universal truths and biblical truths to their own lives and also get trained to train/lead others. This Lead the Leaders, Train the Trainers model is bringing lost ethnic value, family value and individual’s true identity back to Chinese society. I enjoyed working with GPiH and I plan to work with this organization again in the near future.

Global Partners in Hope understands how necessary it is to engage with people and their suffering. That, I believe, is the key difference of their work, which they don't see only as public policy, but they see as a sigh of HOPE, something that is long gone in places such as Mali, China, and many others.
As a volunteer, I felt that even my smallest contribution was granted as significant for the whole NGO. The network they have built is strong, well prepared, diverse, and that environment makes each action pretty valueable for the communities where they work.

I first met Ian in 2007, when I worked as an intern in his department at Christ Community Church. I've learned so much from him about cross-cultural communication, helping impoverished peoples by working with respected local leaders and engaging those around me in international development work. It's largely due to his influence in my life that I am pursuing my own international development career. Ian has decades of experience working and living abroad that give an inestimable advantage to Global Partners in Hope, allowing the organization to have the impact of an organization many times its size.

I've enjoyed working alongside Global Partners in Hope since the summer of 2010, when I approached Ian Vickers about starting a university-student led organization, the World Energy Project. Global Partners in Hope has since been our (the World Energy Project) parent non-profit, teaching us about everything from international communication and donor relations to fundraising and nonprofit finances. The World Energy Project wouldn't be able to carry out the work of designing and installing renewable energy systems in the developing world without the expertise of Global Partners in Hope.

I've been volunteering with GPiH since it began. Through the years I've helped with the website, written the newsletter, traveled to China, and helped with other organizational tasks. I love that the organization is relatively small in size but has such a big impact. Because of this, I can see how the work I do makes an impact. I also believe in the leadership of this organization - they have an amazing vision and are truly passionnate about the work they are doing.

I've had the privilege of providing communications support to Global Partners in Hope and have been very impressed with the way GPIH is impacting lives in unprecedented ways. Their founder and leader, Ian Vickers, brings lifelong experience in global outreach to the organization, casting a vision that has already resulted in the creation of medical clinics and clean water wells in Mali, West Africa. And through his network of connections, GPIH is partnering with Chinese leaders to open doors to minister to the needs of business leaders throughout China. This organization has everything you'd look for in a solid nonprofit -- vision, mission and passion. And they are making lasting and sustainable change.

It has been such a privilege and honor to be part of several short-term mission trips to Beijing with Global Partners in Hope. I have been able to see and experience firsthand the excitement and joy while interacting with these exceptional young Chinese Christians. Their desire to learn and grow in their Christian faith is something I have never seen here in the USA. Our teams go to China to train and share our Christian faith and lifestyle, yet we come home far more blessed and humbled by how much they have taught us by their passion and love for Christ.

I have always been impressed that Global Partners in Hope is totally "above ground" in China, with full cooperation from the government. I know Ian Vickers personally and greatly respect him for his heart and vision for the unsaved in China. I am looking forward to returning to China with GPiH in 2014.

It has been a blessing and privilege to be involved with GPiH since the fall of 2010. God has given favor to GPiH and an open door in China that they have used wisely. I have made two trips to Beijing (my wife three) and it has been amazing to see how young believers we have met from earlier visits continue to grow in their walk with the Lord. Their sacrifices and desire to learn and grow more is an inspiration.

GPiH has a solid team on ground in Beijing with great connections within the Christian community.
God is doing amazing things in China and GPiH is part of His plan for China. Ian Vickers, CEO of GPiH,
continues to provide solid leadership working with the ever- changing times in China.

It has been a pleasure and privilege to have been associated with Global Partners in Hope since early 2010. My church in the San Diego area has been in successful partnership with GPiH for several years. Through this partnership, I have lead five teams to China that have changed many lives in both China and the U.S. The people on our teams are forever changed by the warm loving welcome of the Chinese believers. Witnessing their love and hunger to know more about our Lord is humbling and always inspires our own spiritual walk. Our Chinese friends are eternally changed by the mature teaching and caring mentoring of our church members. Our partnership is a perfect win - win! It is with great joy and anticipation that we leave shortly for a sixth mission to Beijing.

The GPiH China team has consistently provided highly professional and competent services in a friendly and loving manner. Ian Vickers, CEO of Global Partners in Hope, consistently displays the qualities of a godly servant leader in addition to being far sighted, intelligent, and hard working.

It is a great honor to serve the people of China through Global Partners in Hope.

My involvement with Global Partners in Hope has been as a member of the Connecting with China ministry at my church in the San Diego, California area. This ministry was begun as a direct result of the church’s partnership with GPiH. Through Connecting With China ministry, our church members have the opportunity to minister to house churches, pastors, and business professionals via numerous short term missions. I was included on two of these mission trips and was able to see first-hand the energy and the servant’s hearts of the Global Partners in Hope staff in China.

The partnership between GPiH and Crown College is very exciting. Both the Business Track and the Pastor Track are excellent for reaching those groups most likely to be able to multiply the efforts to bring God’s Word into application in day-to-day life in China.

It has been a pleasure to see the GPiH mission in China evolve as God has opened new doors there and I am looking forward toward greater involvement in the future.

Thank you again for providing the opportunity to serve the people of China through GPiH.

Best regards,
John Waring

I have been affiliated with GPiH for nearly a year. In that year, I have come to know the heart of the CEO and the quality of people he surrounds himself with - unparalleled. One of the great things about GPiH is the fact that the work that they do (dig water wells and build medical clinics in the worlds poorest countires) is accomplished so efficiently - instead of paying for teams from the US to go out and do the work of digging and building, they use locals thus freeing up thousands of our dollars to serve the greater good. I like seeing my money utilized in a manner that is effective and not wasteful. The entire staff and board of directors are incredibly accomplished and so very humble, rest assured that you will do well to give to Global Partners in Hope.
