Hope Project helps kids in the areas of nutrition, education, shelter, and spiritual development. Through long-term partnerships with pastors and missionaries, this organization acts as the bridge between the people who want to help and the children who so desperately need it.

Hope Project was founded in 2013 by Than and Megan Graffam. Previous to Hope Project, Than and Megan had been kids pastors in the local church for 10 years. They played with the question, “What if we had unlimited resources?” Though far from their reality, they knew that if they had unlimited resources they would find pastors and missionaries around the world who were helping children, hear their vision, and do what they could to help equip the local church to fulfill Biblical commands.

Hope Project currently has long-term partners in 3 different countries, two in Central America and one in Southeast Asia. Than and Megan have a desire to expand to 6 countries total and believe over time that can be possible.
