Donations

We are often asked about bringing donations of shoes, clothes and other items to distribute to the different communities during the trip. We have a very direct position on donations. We believe in empowering individuals to help themselves and preventing a situation of dependency on organizations like Hope Renewed. We believe in providing a HAND UP. . . NOT A HAND OUT. This means that donations are kept to specific items that further the programs of Hope Renewed in each community. For example, bringing much needed supplies to the preschool reduces the overall cost of running this program and fits perfectly into our mission of empowerment through education. We can provide an updated list for you and your team should you decide to bring down additional donations.
