Community Partnership

Hands of Hope has identified a number of communities, both urban and rural, for churches to partner with in developing long-range plans. These partnerships generally continue for 10 years, focusing on identifying and prioritizing community needs - such as schools, churches, medical clinics, community centers, water wells, and providing leadership mentoring. 

Plans are developed based on priorities, funding opportunities, and the skills and experiences of short-term team members.  Churches send short-term teams one or more times per year.  Hands of Hope staff work with the community and church leaders on an ongoing basis, consulting and assessing progress, coordinating training for leaders and pastors, monitoring sponsored children and their families, etc.
