A Thousand Hopes
Building brighter futures through education and opportunities
What we aspire to do
A Thousand Hopes is a non-profit organization dedicated to bringing positive change to the lives of needy children and youths in rural areas of developing world. Join us in our mission to build libraries and provide scholarships, creating opportunities for education and empowerment. Your support and beyond will help us light up a thousand hopes for a brighter future.
The Need: Bridging Educational Gaps
In many rural areas of Vietnam, children from low-income families face severe educational disparities. While school enrolment is high, about 21% of children still lack access to quality education and necessary learning resources. Rural schools often rely on outdated, second-hand books, leading to poor literacy rates and missed opportunities. Without financial support, many bright students are forced to drop out, perpetuating the cycle of poverty.
The Solution: Empowering Education
At A Thousand Hopes, we address educational barriers through two core programs: Adopt a Book and Sponsor a Student.
- Adopt a Book: Provides age-appropriate, high-quality books to rural school libraries, reigniting students’ love for reading.
- Sponsor a Student: Offers scholarships to bright students from low-income families, enabling them to afford essential school materials and continue their education.
As A Thousand Hopes embarks on its mission, our current efforts are focused primarily on Vietnam, a country where we are more familiar while many rural schools in the country still lack the resources necessary to foster a thriving educational environment.
As we expand our work to other countries in the future, we will provide further insights into the unique needs and solutions we bring to those regions.
The Focus of our Efforts
Promoting Reading Cultures
Our fundraising initiative and books/libraries adoption programs aim to contribute to the construction of libraries, fostering knowledge hubs that empower communities with valuable resources and opportunities for growth.
Educational Support
Through our fundraising efforts and student sponsorship programs, we aim to provide monetary support that recognize those individuals who, despite financial challenges, demonstrate outstanding academic achievements.
