HOPE International is dedicated to supporting underserved families worldwide by providing them with meaningful work opportunities. They invest in the dreams of individuals living in material poverty, empowering them to utilize their skills and creativity to provide for their families. Hope International’s local partner, Diaconía, in Paraguay, focuses on holistic development within vulnerable communities through small-group loans, vocational and financial training, and church-based savings groups. Diaconía prioritizes serving single mothers, women, rural communities, and makeshift settlements, aiming to reach those who are least served.
