Project HOPE USA
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Identifiable to many by the S.S. HOPE, the world's first peacetime hospital ship, Project HOPE USA was founded by William B. Walsh, M.D. The mission of the organization is reflected in the name Health Opportunities for People Everywhere and in a very simple philosophy: Go only where invited, and help people help themselves. Project HOPE has delivered over $1 billion worth of medicines and supplies over its history and recruited thousands of volunteers that then trained millions of health providers at every level of care. Today, Project HOPE educates caregivers, trains health workers, provides medicines and supplies, develops facilities where quality care can be provided, and strengthens communities to help themselves.
