The Hope Community
Let’s Work Together

Breaking the cycle of poverty and creating brighter futures for children, young women, and families in East Africa takes a community of people working together. We believe God has called us to this work, and we know so much more is possible when we join hands in service.

Whether you’re a young person, an individual, a church, or a business ready to make a difference -
there’s a place for you in the Hope Community. Together, we can live out our shared vision of
transformed lives, flourishing communities.

HOPE AMBASSADOR

Hope Ambassadors are dedicated individual supporters who invest in the future of the children and young women HopeCo serves through monthly gifts of $100 or more. Their generosity helps provide consistent care and life-changing opportunities, while their passion for our mission helps build connections and inspire others to join the HopeCo community.

HOPE CREW

The Hope Crew is made up of passionate young people who want to make a difference and be part of something bigger than themselves. Whether they’re hosting fundraisers, spreading the word about HopeCo on social media, serving as interns, or even sponsoring a child, there are so many ways to get involved. You don’t have to have a lot to give to make a lasting impact. All you need is a heart for helping others and a desire to bring hope to life!

HOPE PARTNER

Hope Partners are businesses that share HopeCo’s vision of a brighter future for children, young women, and families in East Africa. Through ongoing support and spreading the word about HopeCo in their stores, online, and throughout their communities, these businesses help us break the cycle of poverty and bring hope to life. We’re grateful for every business that joins us, and there’s always room for one more!

HOPE ADVOCATE

Hope Advocates are churches that partner with HopeCo to bring hope to children, families, and communities in East Africa. Through ongoing support, child sponsorship, mission teams, and sharing HopeCo’s mission with their congregations, these churches help make lasting change possible. Together, we can accomplish so much more as we serve side by side and grow in our shared mission to bring hope to life.

So much more is possible when we join hands and serve together. Through meaningful partnerships, lives are transformed and communities flourish.

Watch the video below to see what partnership with HopeCo looks like and how you can be part of the work happening in East Africa.

What Partnership Looks Like

“Having witnessed HopeCo’s ministry firsthand, I am profoundly moved by their Christ-centered approach to caring for vulnerable children, young women, and their local community. Their work embodies Jesus’ mandate to love and care for “least among us” through compassionate action rather than mere words. When I visited, I saw not just programs but the Gospel through caregivers who embody Jesus’ love by meeting educational, physical, and spiritual needs with dignity and excellence. Our church remains committed to supporting this vital ministry because we have seen how lives have been transformed when vulnerable souls experience genuine love and compassion. In HopeCo’s work, we witness God’s kingdom breaking through in tangible ways.”

“Burgerhaus is a small business adventure by a father-son team, Jon and Evan Costas, in Valparaiso, Indiana. Our vision was simple: take the great American tradition – the hamburger – and give it an international twist, while serving our Hoosier community. But our mission goes beyond feeding our community. In 2023, we launched ‘Full Belly, Full Heart’ – a partnership with HopeCo where a portion of every burger sold at Burgerhaus provides nutritious, balanced meals to children living in poverty. I (Jon) had the privilege of visiting Machakos, Kenya. It was powerful and humbling to see the direct impact – smiling faces and full tummies. At Burgerhaus, we’re committed to serving more than just great food. We're here to be part of something bigger – feeding bodies, filling hearts, and helping kids thrive.”
