What is HopeWalk Africa?

HopeWalk is an experience. It is not your typical journey to a foreign land. It is an opportunity to see, touch, smell and experience first hand the desperate need of a land and it's people. You will see hope come alive as Convoy of Hope demonstrates what your help can bring. Leave the footprints of your caring IN THE SOIL OF AFRICA…a lasting imprint of HOPE.

Convoy of Hope is a faith-based compassion organization that has provided real help to desperate people in more than 90 countries and nearly all 50 states. During the last several years, Convoy of Hope has provided help to nearly 20 million people around the world. Ongoing efforts provide food, water, economic development and other resources to areas where poverty reigns and hope is hard to come by. HopeWalk is a global initiative in Convoy of Hope’s efforts to meet the critical needs of people living in devastating conditions, while offering them the transforming power of hope.

HopeWalk Africa. This is a story of mounting hope, but it can’t be fully told until a page is written about your participation: what you observed and how you helped respond to a people in great need. Then the story becomes yours to tell and to inspire a host of others.

The story you tell will be more than one of what you saw. You will tell of your participation in the supply of vital needs - from food and water to school uniforms and shoes. And whether you're a business leader or a pastor, you will tell how you offered tangible hope and saw lives transformed as a result.

Also, you will witness a transformation in your own life. No longer will you view stories of conditions in Africa in the abstract. You will see first hand the hard realities of people's lives - and the power of a helping hand - your hand. Walk with us next spring, 2009.
