Programs
3 programs
Food: in 2024, the hope venture was able to provide over 100,000 meals to hungry children across india through our feeding center project. Many of those students also receive tutoring and some computer training. In addition, our food projects included the distribution of 150 goats in kenya and food relief for 4000 people in a remote region of kenya.
Education supplies: in 2024 the hope venture helped over 8,000 children have the supplies they needed for a year of schooling through our backpack project in south asia. These children come from incredibly poor backgrounds where many of the families have never received such a gift and where there is little money leftover for school supplies. In addition, our supplies included uniforms for high school students in uganda.
