We believe poverty has many faces. Therefore, we apply principles of holistic service, care and participation in our projects and programs. Our mission is to work closely with our beneficiaries to improve their quality of life.

Peace and Hope Trust uses a participatory approach in the design, implementation, management and evaluation of its projects and programs by utilizing local capacity. We believe that our projects are not our projects... they belong to our beneficiaries.

Peace and Hope Trust bases its work on Biblical principles, captured, in part, by the messages of 2 Corinthians 9:12 and Colossians 3:17:

"This service that you perform is not only supplying the needs of God’s people but is also overflowing in many expressions of thanks to God. Because of the service by which you have proved yourselves, men will praise God for the obedience that accompanies your confession of the gospel of Christ, and for your generosity in sharing with them and with everyone else."  

We are committed to all peoples of all races, religions and social strata in Nicaragua. Our staff, volunteers, projects and programs must meet a standard of integrity and diversity that is aligned with our Christian ethos, providing the best possible service and care for our constituents as we serve them from the framework of Biblical morality, compassionate concern and steadfast commitment.
