Outreach for World Hope is a 501(C)3 approved, non-denominational Christian organization with the goal of improving the quality of life of the world’s poor by providing humanitarian aid and compassion  as well as hope for the future through educational opportunities and sustainable development.

The founders of OWH began humanitarian aid activities in the year 2000 with the installation of safe drinking water systems in villages of Ecuador, South America where disease was prevalent due to the lack of safe drinking water sources.  Since its beginning, OWH has been responsible for the installation of numerous wells and drinking water systems in South and Central America that serve thousands.

OWH leaders have partnered with Arms of Jesus Children’s Mission in Antigua, Guatemala, for several years, providing financial support and assisting with successful feeding and education programs. OWH leaders have met with the founder and leaders of Provadenic medical ministry in Nicaragua to investigate the results of how a village leader can be trained to provide basic life saving medical care including diagnosis and treatment of common minor illnesses, first aid and delivery of babies where no other health care is readily available. This program will be replicated by OWH in Eastern Guatemala beginning in January of 2007. OWH has also partnered with two American 501 (C)3 organizations, El Porvenir and Agua Para La Vida,  to enable Nicaraguan communities to provide for their own physical needs by supplying materials and training for specific projects involving water wells and distribution systems, sanitation and reforestation.     

Outreach for World Hope has since expanded into many other humanitarian aid activities including but not limited to the construction of homes to replace corn stalk shacks, construction of school buildings and playground equipment, disaster relief, famine relief, child sponsorships which provide educational opportunities, and distribution of many tons of food, clothing, shoes, vitamins, personal care items, medications, and toys to those living in extreme poverty.   

After 5 years of partnership with other organizations, OWH leaders recognized the need to incorporate as a tax exempt public charity to meet needs that were not being addressed by existing ministries.  OWH applied for tax exempt status in the summer of 2005 and was approved within 3 weeks of application.  Since November of 2005 the OWH Hope for the Hungry Virtual Village Project in Jocotan, Guatemala has been rescuing severely malnourished children from imminent starvation and giving them hope for a brighter future through education

We invite you to join us in our efforts either as a financial partner or as a participant on a short term trip. For those traveling on mission teams the rewards are indescribable and life changing. Many short term mission team participants have continued on to more permanent types of mission work as a result of their experiences.
