Who we serve

Orphans. Refugees. Families with almost nothing.

Hope 143 brings hope and love to the world's most vulnerable — through food, water, shelter, healthcare, education, and dignity — working alongside vetted local partners in countries where families have the least access to help from their own governments.

Give today About us

The people we help

Three groups. One shared need.

Orphans

Children who've lost the adults meant to care for them, now depending on community and partners to fill that gap — with food, schooling, and someone in their corner.

Refugees

Families displaced from home with little more than what they carried, now rebuilding daily life around access to clean water, food, and shelter.

Families in extreme poverty

Households with no reliable safety net, often needing help most with the basics: a stocked pantry, safe water, and a home that holds against the season.

Where they are

Real places. Real families. Real need.

Behind every country name is a community Hope 143 has come to know personally — through partners we trust, in places where government help simply doesn't reach far enough.

Colombia

Supporting refugees from Venezuela

Millions of Venezuelans have crossed into Colombia with nothing but what they could carry. We show up with food and clean water, delivered by local hands who understand exactly what these families need.

Belize

Orphanages & families in extreme poverty

In Belize, our people spend real time in local orphanages and alongside families with almost nothing — building shelter, sure, but also just showing up, again and again.

Wherever we go, it's never alone — it's always with partners already rooted in that community.

More about our work

"We don't just hand things out. We kneel down, look a child in the eye, and remind them someone sees them."

— Dave, Hope 143 co-founder

Dignity is the part of this work that doesn't show up on a spreadsheet. It's why our teams travel to distribute in person, why children get a toy alongside a food box, and why we measure success not just in pounds of rice or gallons of water, but in whether a family felt cared for.
