Convoy of Hope's photostream

Convoy of Hope is a 501(c)(3) international compassion organization that specializes in disaster relief, local outreach events, and long-term empowerment programs. Our approach is holistic, meeting spiritual and urgent physical needs and then empowering people with the skills and resources to live sustainable lives. We tailor our development programs to meet the specific needs of an area, such as job training and rehabilitation programs for former child soldiers in Uganda and a daily feeding, hygiene and nutrition program for 18,000 local school children and their families in Latin America and Africa. Our ongoing commitment to disaster recovery is evidenced by our continued assistance to Hurricane Katrina victims through local outreach events. Our relief network includes a fleet of tractor-trailers, a 300,000 square-foot world distribution center, and regional distribution centers around the globe. In our 15-year history, Convoy of Hope has met the real needs of more than 28 million people worldwide.
