Rural and Economic Development

Many impoverished communities around the world are ripe with natural resources but lack the knowledge or opportunity necessary to form a market and delivery system to distribute and gain profit from their goods.

Working at both the grassroots and global trading levels, World Hope International (WHI) helps to lay the groundwork for business in developing countries and empowers communities to succeed. For example, our Sisters and Village Partnership programs promote entrepreneurship at the community level, which aim to create sustainable food and income security, while FIRST STEP connects businesses investing in Sierra Leone with international trading opportunities. Finally, WHI’s Mobile Power and Integrated Energy Center programs encourage entrepreneurship and access to sustainable energy.
