Walk Information
Since 2006, Hope Walks has educated over 6,000 individuals in the communities and families of seven cities across the United States about the needs of orphans and vulnerable children around the world. The 13 walks in these cities have raised over $500,000 in proceeds to benefit 2,000 children in 9 orphan programs in 8 different countries. Two international walks have been conducted to advocate for the world wide needs of orphans and vulnerable children – one in the Domincan Republic and one in Jinja, Uganda.
These needs could not have been met without the involvement and help of our walkers, co-sponsors and contributors.
