Gifts of Hope Catalog (2013)

Changing Lives begins

Hopewith

s P R i n G T W O T h O U s A n D T h i R T E E n

This Christmas, give a gift that lasts.“For most of us, gift giving means an effort to make our friends and family feel valued and appreciated—though most of our gifts are only temporary.

But what if you gave a gift that would make a lasting and eternal impact? What if you gave the gift of hope? I’m not talking about a gift that’s here today and gone tomorrow, but rather an investment that can change entire communities in need.

When you give a Gift of Hope, you are giving freedom and empowerment. These gifts have the power to rescue lives, restore dignity, and change futures.

World Help believes in meeting needs through physical aid, sustainability, education, and community and spiritual development. After more than 20 years of extensive work in impoverished communities around the world, we have seen success through the investment in these four strategic areas.

Will you choose to give to individuals who need it the most? As you look through the pages of this catalog, reflect on the potential your giving has to transform lives. Fully grasp the impact you can make by giving help for today . . . and hope for tomorrow.”

Help for Today . . . Hope for Tomorrow,

Vernon Brewer Founder and President of World Help

lamthienbel used to dread going to sleep

at night. he and his schoolmates

would cut up old shirt sleeves

to put over their feet while they

slept because they did not have

socks. But now, lamthienbel and

his friends sleep under soft, warm

blankets every night.

The Good samaritan Children’s home in Uganda

provides schooling for 1,700

children, many of them impacted

by AiDs. Recently, Gifts of Hope

provided these children with brand

new shoes. For many of them, these

are the first pair of new shoes they

have ever owned.


EDUCATIONEducation is one the greatest tools we can give to

childrenandyoungadultslivinginpoverty.

Schooling for a disadvantaged individual means they

will likely earn more. And a healthier income means

their children will have access to proper nutrition,

healthcare, developmental opportunities, and more.

When you give the gifts of basic education and

vocationaltraining,youcreateaprogressivecyclethat

penetratesentiregenerations.

But the needy will not be ignored forever; the

hopes of the poor will not always be crushed.

At a village in the

heart of Africa,

dozens of children

previously went

without schooling

because there was

no space for them

at the local school.

Last year, through

Gifts of Hope, the

children were given

their own classroom

and the hope for a

successful future

through education.

IMPACTIn 2012, Gifts of Hope supporters gave to drill clean-water wells

in devastated communities, distribute Bibles to persecuted

Christians, rescue malnourished children, educate former

child soldiers, and so much more. World Help was inspired by

individuals of all backgrounds and means.

We’ve also heard stories of how their giving made an impact

on their own lives. Stone Wildey, 12, and his sister Claire, 10,

were two of those individuals.

In 2011, they made a goal to raise $22 to buy a pair of chickens

through the Gifts of Hope catalog. But by the end of their

campaign, they had raised enough for chickens, fruit trees,

seeds, and a share of a clean-water well.

And in 2012, they went even further—providing rabbits,

mosquito nets, bedding, life-saving supplies, clean water,

chickens, and more! Their efforts meant that families living

in poverty could experience the gifts of nutrition, wages, safe

drinking water, and future health.

We’re excited for a new year of stories like these . . . of visionary

giving, of individuals coming together to make an impact, and

of lives changed. Through Gifts of Hope, we can make 2013 a

year of help, healing, and hope.

stella came into our sponsorship program after her parents succumbed to AiDs. she suddenly faced life completely alone, without anyone to turn to.

But she was taken into our

sponsorship program and

given a safe, nurturing place

to stay at one of our children’s

homes. Stella graduated from

high school and decided

to continue her education

through vocational training.

Today, she is a seamstress and

plans to begin her own bridal

shop. Sponsorship gave this

bright young lady support

in the aftermath of trauma . . .

and invested in her future

by giving her the tools she

needed to succeed!

WorldHelphasofferedhelpfortodayandhopefortomorrowformorethan20years.World Help is a faith-based humanitarian organization that exists to serve the physical and spiritual needs of people in impoverished communities around the world.

We do this by partnering with compassionate individuals who have the vision to make a lasting difference. We rely heavily on international partners who know personally the needs of their countries. These faithful men and women not only help us identify needs on the ground, but also carry out the physical details of project implementation and follow up.

Currently, World Help directs 96.6 percent of all resources to our global projects, using only 2.7 percent for administration, and 0.7 percent for fundraising. Every gift is maximized in order to bring the greatest amount of aid to those who need it most around the world.

We have received the highest ratings from the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability (ECFA) and the independent donor advocate organization, MinistryWatch.com.
