HOPE International

Just 1% of the Doma people, an isolated people group in northern Zimbabwe, know Jesus (Joshua Project).   At HOPE International, we consider the Doma a “frontier” community: a group of people who have been isolated by poverty, marginalized, and unreached by the Gospel.    We’re helping the Doma start savings groups, where they can pray and read God’s Word together. We’ve partnered with the Bible Society of Zimbabwe to support community members who are illiterate. They have provided solar-powered audio Bibles to this community!     Roughly 41% of people worldwide have not heard the Gospel. We’re Dreaming Beyond spiritual isolation, believing that the Good News is for all people!    If you’d like to join us in Dreaming Beyond and help us share the hope of the Gospel with the least served—like the Doma—visit https://lnkd.in/eid9kib3   Part 5 of 6

Savey is a member of the Doma community, an isolated and spiritually unreached people group in northern Zimbabwe with a high illiteracy rate. 44% of the Doma people we surveyed have no formal education. Savey shares, “I took interest in savings groups because we will be banking our money. When we share out the money at the end of the year, it will help our children who want to go to school. We won't struggle to find the money to pay school fees.” At HOPE International, we’re Dreaming Beyond to reach 21 marginalized groups—like the Doma—by 2025 to help them break the cycle of #poverty and access more opportunities like formal #education.

“By God’s grace, my mother was also part of a savings group—and it changed the trajectory of our lives," shares Moses Ndahiro, HOPE International’s senior director of savings group programs. “I watched my mother faithfully save week after week. With loans from her group, she paid for me and my siblings to go to school. I don’t know what my life would have looked like without the support of my mother’s saving.” We’re convinced that this work matters! So, we're accelerating and expanding our proven models—Christ-centered savings groups and microfinance—to reach the people and communities that need them most.

Evelyn was invited to join a savings group through one of HOPE’s church partners in Zimbabwe. This group offered an opportunity for her to gather with others in her Doma community to be discipled, gain biblically based training, and grow in her faith.    “I embraced the [savings] program because I saw it as something that can uplift some of us who are lowly.”      We praise God that we've met our 2025 goal to reach 20 new frontier groups (the least served), but we're not stopping there! We continue seeking opportunities to serve more frontier groups like the Doma. By offering the hope of Christ and financial services, people living in poverty can realize their God-given dignity!     We invite you to join us: https://lnkd.in/eid9kib3 Part 2 of 6 

Evelyn is a member of the Doma community, an isolated and spiritually unreached people group in Zimbabwe. Providing daily food for her six kids is a struggle. In fact, 42% of the 200 Doma people we surveyed reported eating only one meal a day. In the dry months, they have almost no access to fresh food. Before we could invite community members into church-based savings groups, we needed to first help them meet this vital need for themselves. So, we partnered with MATTER ® to teach the Doma how to grow chaya, a plant similar to kale that can be grown, cooked, and eaten year-round. 🪴 Today, Evelyn feels more confident in joining others in a savings group and is beginning to put small sums aside to invest in her future dreams. Around the HOPE network, many in savings groups farm to make ends meet. Offering them training in farming improvements empowers them in their work and helps them increase their savings.

There are now more than 3 million internally displaced people (IDPs) living in Ukraine. How do we continue to walk alongside families who can't return home because of the war? The HOPE Ukraine team took a listening-first approach to assess IDP's evolving needs—and got a surprising answer. Find out more on our blog: https://lnkd.in/ggNfvnpB
