Global Hope Network International (GHNI) is a non-profit, private humanitarian aid organization who believes that it is possible to bring not only hope, but change, to the poorest villages of the world. We help those communities become strong and independent, by learning to transform themselves, so they can move away from perpetual poverty and despair.GHNI began through a project in 1999 to help an Afghan refugee camp in Pakistan. This effort made such an impression on the nearly three million refugees that stories are told all over the region of the big hearts of our small team.That first project set the stage for additional work and the official launching of Global Hope Network International, "Bringing help and hope to the hidden and hurting."Since then, over 100 other projects have opened doors for us to bring sustainable and transformational assistance to communities in Afghanistan, Jordan, Iraq, Iran, Sudan, Kenya, Ethiopia, Sri Lanka, Indonesia, Turkey and many others. And through all of that we learned our method of Transformational Community Development.The vast, hidden majority of the world's poorest people live in rural villages where the vast majority of assistance never reaches. GHNI believes that it's possible to bring not only sustainable transformation to these people, but also the accompanying hope of a better future, free from the perpetual cycle of poverty. Village Transformation: Our core focus is helping villages transform themselves sustainably and holistically through our coaching-based method of Transformational Community Development.Disaster Relief: We often begin in an area by providing carefully targeted Disaster Relief in war zones or following natural disasters.Leadership Impact: Finally, we help equip national leaders in developing nations with ways to support transformation at home through our programs of Transformational Leadership Development and our Geneva Institute for Leadership and Public Policy.
