The Mission of Peace and Hope Trust
Peace and Hope Trust is a multinational nongovernmental organization committed to social and
economic development in Nicaragua. 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 constituents to improve their quality of life in many
sectors such as health, education, land rights, social mobilization, spiritual growth,
infrastructure and renewable energy.
Peace and Hope Trust uses a participatory approach in the design, implementation,
management and evaluation of its projects and programs by utilizing local / national
capacity. We believe that our projects are not our projects... they belong to our
constituents. Therefore, our work in Nicaragua is the result of mandates established by our
constituents through consensus.
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."
2 Cor. 9:12
"And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus,
giving thanks to God the father through him."
Col. 3:17
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.
