Support Family Business Around the World

Every Family Deserves Hope

Hope Arising connects smart, capable, hard-working individuals who are trapped in poverty and often illiteracy, to knowledge and resources that unlock their potential to care for their families and build a future of hope.

Transforming Lives

How It Works

1. Start With Literacy Training

Reading and writing native language, especially for women, doubles earning capacity, reduces child marriage and abuse, and increases education for children. Literacy breaks the cycle of intergenerational poverty.

2. Teach Business Skills and Entreprenuership

Families who apply 6 fundamentals of business increase their income by 64%. This means that every year they have money for school fees and medical needs. Dignity and confidence strengthens families and lifts communities.

3. Create Micro-loan Groups

Poverty and societal caste systems are overcome when small amounts of money allow families to participate in the informal economy: meaning they can buy and sell for profit. Microloan groups allow them to do that and be accountable to their peers.

4. Build Learning Centers

Successful families inspire others to make changes. To repeat success and expand access we provide RACHEL servers. This is a mobile digital library with books, copies of educational website, and business training materials available to all with mobile phone wifi.
