Community for Hope and Development

BACK TO SCHOOL PROJECT

Community of Hope and Development, this non profit organization, helping children in need, chooses to see the child as a messenger of the powerful challenges facing children and families today in the community of Philadelphia area and around the world. Because we believe that education is the key to break the poverty cycle and allow reaching self-sufficiency; we developed a program called Back To School 2008 for the Philadelphia area where we will help children in need of all ages have books, bags and school supplies so they can be prepared in the classroom. You can help us by sponsoring a child with a back pack full of supplies.

Once you contact us you will be paired with the number of children you request, and will receive a list of suggested supplies.Volunteers must be able to provide filled backpacks by August 15, 2008. You can drop them or we can arrange to have them picked up. You can also leave a message at 215.332.2030 and we will get back to you. Please Click here to request list of supplies.

Children all over the world

Children all over the world don't receive an education or enough food to eat simply because of the circumstances they were born into. The Community of Hope and Development offers sponsorship programs as a part of our mission to help children around the world.

Through your sponsorship a child from Burkina Faso could attend school for the first time, have enough food to eat, and will know that someone cares about their future.

You may choose to sponsor a child who is not able to receive letters and packages, or you may want the ability to write, send gifts, and maybe visit your child someday. Their lives can be given new direction for as little as $10 a month. The Community of Hope and Development has sponsorships available in Burkina Faso and Haiti. These sponsorship programs are focused on providing education to give the children a brighter future.

With your support, Community of Hope and Development will continue to give Hope of children and families in need the tools they need to help build the economic foundation of their communities.
