How you help
About us

At Project Hope, we provide low-income women with children access to education, jobs, housing, and emergency services; foster their personal transformation; and work for broader systems change. Most of the women we serve are unable to meet their family’s basic needs, have experienced homelessness or are currently homeless and lack the education and skills necessary to achieve financial independence. Yet, while these women face many challenges, including doubts about their and their childrens’ future and ability to improve it, the women at Project Hope are – or have the potential to be – women of exceptional strength.
