Its non-sectarian programmes provide education to disadvantaged children, job and life skills training to the poor, medical services to the sick, and help the elderly to age more healthily and with dignity. Today, HOPE worldwide and its affiliates and chapters serve more than 2 million people on every inhabited continent every year.

Currently, our programmes serve vulnerable elderly, underprivileged children and youth in Hong Kong, and also poor children in rural communities and urban areas in China.
