At Hope Beyond Borders...
We believe that the answers to eradicate poverty already exist within the communities.
What drives the community at HBB is a passion to activate the potential that already exists within poor and hurting communities locally and around the world.
We are not the answer.
We simply strive to collaborate with communities in identifying, empowering and mobilizing local leadership teams with training and resources. In the process of such collaborative efforts we believe that solutions to re-develop communities will be discovered.
Some guiding principals that we have discovered which increases a community’s chance for success:
>Targeting the core Regardless of how broken or absent, we are all born into a small community called the family.
When we train local leaders to address the root issues of broken or absent families within a community, a significant portion of the community's struggles tend to solve themselves.
>Empowering every facet Communities that progress in limited spheres remain unstable.
We are committed to empowering local leaders to establish a holistic approach to community development initiatives that work toward equality and justice in education, employment, housing, government, faith and recreation.
>Reconciliation Without reconciliation, development is a fleeting dream.
We are committed to training local leaders how to work toward restoring relationships across socio-economic, racial and other dividing lines within their communities.
…and we try to set the example.
>Partnerships We believe that we are One for All and All for One - because we both become better with each other.
We love working with like-minded organizations and developing strategic networks to effectively assist and empower the poorest communities in the world. Send us an e-mail or give us a call!
The Vision
To identify the poorest communities in every continent of the world, and collaborate in empowering them to start community development initiatives that strengthens their community in education, employment, housing, government, faith and recreation.
