Helping Ukranians sustain their businesses amid war
HOPE International specializes in long-term development—not crisis response. While we provided immediate relief through local church partners, our primary focus is on equipping entrepreneurs, farmers, and staff to serve their communities now and after the war is over. The HOPE Ukraine assistance funds will be used to:
Provide grants to a network of local churches and organizations in Ukraine, Moldova, Romania, and Poland through connections we've built over 28 years of ministry in Ukraine. We've also sent funds to around 50 churches or organizations since the war began—most of them small Ukrainian churches.
Support Ukrainian business owners and farmers with grace periods and flexibility on their current loan repayments. As we check in with these men and women, we're also praying for them, providing business coaching, and in some cases, directly assisting in emergencies.
Help more business owners, farmers, and families recover from damage to property, lost income, or other capital needs once the violence ends. Through business loans, housing loans, and agricultural loans, we plan on playing a central role in helping Ukrainians rebuild their war-torn country.
Expand savings groups among churches serving the Roma population. In Europe, the Roma are typically looked down upon and discriminated against, and most of them live in poverty. In Ukraine, savings groups allow Roma churches to help their communities flourish as members meet regularly to save, pray, worship, and meet their community's needs together.
Provide ongoing support to around 50 HOPE Ukraine staff members for their personal safety and wellbeing. Most of them had to flee their homes with their families to escape violence.

We praise God that generous supporters have helped raise sufficient funds for relief response, though we are still distributing them. Additional funding will go toward equipping entrepreneurs during wartime and long-term rebuilding in Ukraine.
