Bright Hope World is at heart a group of passionate volunteers united by a committment to work for the development of the poor and the oppressed. The book of Isaiah in the Bible expresses this passion extremely well:
Is not this the kind of fasting that I have chosen: to loose the chains of injustice and untie the cords of the yoke, to set the oppressed free and break every yoke? Is it not to share your food with the hungry and to provide the poor wanderer with shelter - when you see the naked, to clothe them, and not turn away from your own flesh and blood? Isaiah 58:6-7
OUR VISION: the ultimate goal that guides everything we do, is: to see the poorest of the poor become physically and spiritually self sustaining.
OUR MISSION: what we do to actually achieve our ultimate desire, is: to develop and resource partnerships with indigenous people who have a vision to transform their communities.
OUR VALUES: are those beliefs we hold at the core. They are our 'not negotiables' that guide every aspect of how we operate. They flavour our meetings, our decisions and our attitudes. We have five core values:
We focus on the poorest of the poor.
We invest in strategic partnerships.
We are 'field' driven (the places where our partners are)
We emphasize sustainability.
We are committed to a low overhead structure.
