Creating Hope International

Creating Hope International (CHI) was founded in 1982 and is a Michigan based non-profit organization with 501(c)(3) status. The vision behind CHI is of improving the daily lives of the under-served often silent victims of world strife, devastating natural disasters, crumbling economies, and political systems which suppress natural human rights.

In the wake of these natural or human-made disasters, people struggle to obtain those things which many too easily take for granted: food, shelter, health care, employment and education. The lack of these life necessities robs people of their dignity, their self esteem and self-determination so crucial for the human spirit to thrive. In response to these needs rather than providing short-term grants or limited impact charity work, CHI begins projects with local grassroots organizations to help them respond with local solutions to deal with problems.

We invest in local, community action, building education and health resources, training people in the skills they need to continue the work on their own in the future. In the process we restore people’s self-confidence, help them develop expertise, and assist in creating new, thriving communities. Whether CHI is training teachers and nurses in Afghanistan, providing education for girls in Pakistan or working with the Bon community in Tibet our aim is the same - to bring hope and constructive help to local people so they can direct efforts to rebuild their lives and communities.

At CHI, we are motivated by the belief that we are all citizens of the world and have the ability to make the world a better place one village or one person at a time. We invite you to find out more about our programs and to join with us in our humanitarian efforts.
