WHAT IS RAW HOPE?

Raw Hope works in countries like the Democratic Republic of Congo, Honduras, Iraq, South Sudan, Syria and Afghanistan**.

Raw Hope stands with the Overcomers – the children who’ve experienced the worst that life can offer. Despite war, hunger, disease, abuse, and more, they remain resilient. Hopeful in the face of adversity.

Your gift to Raw Hope will help children living in the world’s most dangerous places survive, recover and build a future.

Food & Nutrition

Nutritious food means creating sustainable food sources through agricultural programs and nutritional trainings, to ensure that children are well-nourished and healthy. In 2019, 45,115 malnourished children were enrolled in nutritional programs and monitored to ensure healthy growth.*

Child Protection

We advocate for child rights and encourage children to speak up against abuse and injustice. By educating families about child rights they are better equipped to keep their children safe. In 2019, 126,189 people learned about child rights and protection issues.

Healthcare

Good health is the foundation of a child’s life. Access to essential services, vaccinations, medical clinics and training in disease prevention provide better health for children and their communities. In 2019, 36,628 people benefited from medical consultations and treatment in health facilities.*

Education

Access to education, classroom repairs, school supplies and training for teachers and parents provide children with opportunities for a better future. In 2019, 34,711 parents learned about the importance of education and how to support their child’s learning.*

Safe Water

Access to safe water through well-drilling, pumps and training in hygiene and sanitation decreases child mortality and frees up time for education, instead of water collection. Thanks to improved water sources, 68,125 people now have safe water for drinking and cooking.*

**As an International Partnership, World Vision Canada (WVC) is still operational in Afghanistan and working to meet the needs of children and their families. WVC has worked in Afghanistan but, as a result of a change in Afghanistan’s government, at this time, no Canadian raised funds (either from private donations or from government) can be programmed there due to Canadian Criminal Code restrictions. As concerned Canadians, you can call your federal Member of Parliament and express your concern and frustration that legal barriers make it impossible for Canadian charities, like WVC, to support work in Afghanistan. Raise your concerns about the significant level of needs and the urgency to remove these barriers so that life-saving work can resume.
