Partnerships...
Hope Teams International partners with indigenous churches and agencies to carry out culturally-appropriate relief, evangelism and discipleship to orphans and street kids in their communities. Here in the U.S. we raise awareness of the plight of orphans, gather financial and human resources, train and deploy work teams. Additionally, HTI provides funding and administrative accountability to our partners to help them more effectively meet the needs of the children they minister to, and their communities.
Sustainability...
HTI facilitates our partners and their communities in becoming self-sufficient in their ministry to orphans, as well as addressing the root causes of abandonment and poverty. We do this by initially purchasing as much of our supplies as possible in the local communities, assisting with the development of micro-economic projects and coming alongside and supporting the work of local leaders.
