Village Partnership
Connecting Canada-based churches, schools, and organizations with specific villages to holistically address community-identified needs and support community-led solutions
Village Partnerships
Village Partnership supports individuals in identifying their most pressing needs, and trains communities to make sound decisions and take action towards change.
Far removed from the technology, commerce, and infrastructure of modern cities, many people living in remote areas throughout developing countries live traditional lifestyles characterized by acute poverty. The cycle of poverty for the people in these communities is perpetual and is due to a combination of several factors including poor infrastructure, lack of education and limited sources of food and income. Through Village Partnerships, spiritual growth, food security, education, agribusiness and community health are addressed in a coordinated way to bring lasting improvement.
Our Work
Since 2003, World Hope International has successfully managed over 25 Village Partnerships.
Investment and Commitment
Churches, schools, and organizations can connect with a specific village in Sierra Leone, Haiti, or the Philippines. The investment and length of commitment of a Village Partnership varies, depending on village need and size. On average, partnerships last three years.
Multi-Year, Holistic Approach
By partnering with village leaders and the local church, WHI utilizes a carefully guided multi-year holistic development process designed to continue on its own after WHI involvement has concluded. Current villages include: Bombali Bana, Kamaron, Kathirie, Mabum Station, Mafaray, Maforay Loko, Makoni Line, Makomp Bana, Masseleh, Rogbere
Owning the Transformation
WHI’s development philosophy centers on the belief that vulnerable communities need knowledge and resources that foster empowerment instead of dependence. This allows villages to take responsibility and ownership of the transformation process, advocating for changes that best address their individual community’s needs.

AN ORGANIZATION YOU CAN TRUST.
Spending of World Hope International (Canada) funds is confined to Board approved projects. Funds designated towards a project are used as designated, with the understanding that when the need for that project has been met or cannot be completed for reasons determined by the Board, the remaining funds designated will be used where needed most.
