What they reported doing
- #1 primary $47KMedair: Hopeland has partnered with the Swiss humanitarian NGO Medair to collaborate on a project to deliver innovative and sustainable flood shelters in South Sudan. Hopeland's major contribution to this project will be fundraising for a pilot batch of the shelters, which are made from locally sourced re-used products e.g. used rubber tires. The implementation of the project is expected in 2024 and if successful will allow South Sudanese families to mitigate the effects of the devastating flooding that has impacted the region in recent years.
- #2 $96KOrphanage Trafficking - Hopeland co-authored an article on Orphanage Trafficking, a major advocacy issue for the organization, that appeared in The Global Slavery Index, the leading publication on human trafficking and worldwide efforts to counter this crime. Building on the impact of this article, Hopeland delivered a petition with over 40,000 signatures to the Inter-Parliamentary Union calling on them to end orphanage trafficking in their 180 member countries. Supported by various Hopeland Ambassadors our petition had the needed impact as the Resolution passed unanimously.
