HOPE: Our Mission
October 18, 2009
HOPE is a student-run organization at the University of Florida that exists for the sole purpose of seeing lives saved and communities changed as a result of our efforts. We intend to fulfill this bold vision by raising funds to support the work of a rural medical clinic in Magambua, Tanzania, Africa, and then by going and working in that clinic ourselves. By focusing on one clinic in one community, we hope to see with our own eyes and touch with our own hands those Tanzanians whom our money and time are saving. The reason for the name HOPE is that we, as an organization and as individuals, have been radically changed by the hope given us by the person of Jesus Christ. Because of this hope, we are compelled to offer HOPE to others: not just physically and emotionally, but spiritually as well.
All the support that we raise is given directly to Africa Inland Mission (AIM) to support the medical clinic in purchasing supplies to treat the Tanzanians.
In the summer, some of us will go over to Magambua, Tanzania (the place where the medical clinic is located) or other various areas around Africa as part of a short term missions team partnered with AIM to help out in various projects around the area.
