Vision Hope International e.V.
Integrated emergency and transitional assistance and sustainable development
Empowered people transform the world. This principle is the grounding belief of Vision Hope International, a Germany-based charity (NGO) whose work reaches the world’s most vulnerable people and builds sustainable communities in war-torn regions.
We provide emergency aid in the MENA region (Middle East & North Africa). Vision Hope works currently in Yemen, Jordan, Lebanon and Germany. In recent years, we have succeeded in implementing a large number of projects, for example in the fight against hunger and cholera in Yemen, in caring for newborn children in Syria, in supporting refugees in Jordan or in providing emergency aid for children affected by the explosion in Beirut.
The focus of our work is on food security, health, education, employment and water supply.
A key principle of all our activities is sustainability. In addition to immediate aid in crises, we develop long-term cooperation and work together with local partners, especially for the implementation of our projects.
Our newest campaign: #LifeSigns for Yemen
Our Focus
In keeping with the goal of creating sustainable development, the projects are run mostly by local individuals who are already members of the community.
Vision Hope strives to link relief and recovery with development in order to promote long-term, sustainable peace efforts.
We believe that community-oriented interventions can transform the world into one in which war no longer destroys communities and individuals.
Achieving Goals
To achieve its goals, Vision Hope, apart from private donors, relies also on the support of institutional donors, including Germany’s Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development, the World Food Program (WFP), the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), the World Health Organization (WHO), UNICEF, and United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (UN OCHA), as well as of national and international foundations and organizations, including BILD hilft e.V. „Ein Herz für Kinder“ (A Heart for Children) and Tearfund UK .
Your Help is Important
The financial resources of these organizations make most of our work possible, but also bring certain difficulties. People in emergency situations cannot wait for funds to be approved and made available. So in order to be able to help in life-threatening situations, such as epidemics or famine, when it is needed most, we rely on donations.
We handle your donations transparently, so you can always be sure that the money is used for the purposes for which you donated it. We have signed the voluntary commitment of the Transparent Civil Society Initiative.
