WHO WE SERVE

Global Hope serves the most vulnerable people in regions touched by conflict and provides hope and resources that will change communities for generations to come.

WOMEN

Women lack the basic human rights and dignity they deserve, and yet, when they are empowered, they empower the communities around them.

YOUTH

Young people lack access to education and safety, but when they find hope, freedom, and opportunity, they become the leaders that shape a better future.

REFUGEES AND INTERNALLY DISPLACED PEOPLE

Those removed from their homes and sometimes their families often lack the support and resources to meet their everyday needs. When they encounter care, they find security and stability in new places.

UNDERSERVED COMMUNITIES

Oppressed, overlooked, and exploited, we are committed to seeing and serving the ones few others see and serve, because every human life matters to God, and every human deserves a chance to flourish in peace.

FOR WOMEN AND GIRLS IN IRAQ:

  • Gender-based violence ranks among the highest in the world, with more than 1.3 million at risk in their lifetime. 

  • More than 90 percent have been victims of female genital mutilation, in some areas of Iraqi Kurdistan. 

  • Child marriages are on the rise with 28 percent of girls married before age 18. 22 percent of unregistered marriages involved girls under age 14.

  • Illiteracy rates are the highest across the region, reaching nearly 30 percent.

Without intervention, physical vulnerability and spiritual darkness are their fate.
