Programs and Activities

The Lifeboat Program

This program provides emergency support to children suffering from severe malnutrition. It includes inpatient nutritional rehabilitation for a period of thirty days. Following recovery, children are profiled to seek sponsors, and their families receive monthly food supplies to prevent relapse into malnutrition.

The Virtual Village Program

This initiative supports extremely impoverished families identified through instances of severe child malnutrition. Sponsored families receive monthly food supplies, vitamins, medical care for the entire family, social services, and agricultural projects to promote self-sufficiency. Sponsors often have the opportunity to personally visit their sponsored families during team trips.

The Road to Independence

Outreach for World Hope emphasizes the importance of long-term solutions by addressing the underlying causes of poverty. The organization focuses on improving economic conditions through sustainable agriculture and promoting education among children. Notable agricultural projects include the use of drought-tolerant seed varieties like the Llanero tomato and Arifi bean hybrid, which help families produce food in small gardens using efficient irrigation systems.

Leadership and Operations

Outreach for World Hope is led by Kim Tews, who serves as President. The organization receives significant funding through grants and donations, with total revenues reaching over $384,000 in recent fiscal years.

History

Since its inception, Outreach for World Hope has been actively engaged in humanitarian work, particularly in regions like the Chiquimula area of Guatemala, known as "The Dry Corridor," where chronic drought conditions exacerbate poverty and famine.
