Hope Walks: A Promise to the Children of the Epidemic

Money raised by Hope Walks funds orphan programs in the developing world that provide food, school tuition and supplies, routine healthcare and, when needed, medical treatment for HIV or other diseases such as malaria and tuberculosis.
Hope Walks is a promise to the children of the epidemic. Find a walk near you.

In this newsletter we want to announce our Post Exposure Prophylaxis (PEP) Program in eastern DRC and share the story of how quickly and wonderfully it came together. » Read this newsletter
