Our Story
Dedication and Service
The Focus of our Efforts
In the heart of A Thousand Hopes lies a journey inspired by compassion and a shared vision for a brighter future. It all began with a simple belief that education is the key to unlocking a world of possibilities. Founded by a group of dedicated team with a mission to make a lasting impact on the lives of needy children and youths in underserved areas of developing countries, our organization has grown from a shared dream to a beacon of hope.
Driven by the desire to bridge educational gaps and empower underserved communities, we embarked on a mission to build libraries that serve as sanctuaries for knowledge and imagination. Each page turned, each story shared, becomes a stepping stone towards a more promising tomorrow.
As we weave our narrative, we are committed to not only constructing physical spaces for learning but also offering scholarships and bursaries that open doors to educational opportunities. A Thousand Hopes envisions a world where every child, regardless of their circumstances, has the chance to embrace the transformative power of education.
Join us in our story – whether you are from anywhere across the globe – and become a vital chapter in the tale of a thousand hopes being realized. Together, we can build a legacy of empowerment, one library, one scholarship, and one bright future at a time.
We are registered in Sweden as a non-profit organization (ideell förening), with organization number 802546-4226.

Why do we do what we are doing?
Financial Transparency
We are committed to stay as transparent as possible to our donors.
Our Supporters
We are proud to receive invaluable support from our supporters — Microsoft, Google, Canva, and Adobe—through their nonprofits programs. These powerful tools enable us to operate efficiently with minimal overhead, as we dedicate 100% of donor contributions directly to our programs, while raising separate funds for operational costs.
Their support goes beyond just providing tools; it’s a testament to their belief in our mission. With their supports, we are empowered to make a greater impact, knowing we are not alone in our commitment to bring education and hope to those in need.
Our Partners
At A Thousand Hopes, one of our core operational principles is to support what communities truly need. We deeply value open conversations and feedback from the communities we serve to ensure that we provide exactly what’s necessary for their growth.
Pedagogical Partners
Our projects are rooted in the needs of local communities, particularly schools. To achieve this, we work closely with school principals, librarians, and educational experts to listen to their challenges and identify how we can help. These partnerships ensure that our efforts align with the educational priorities of each community we serve.
Book Publisher Partners
A key to the success of our Adopt a Book program is our partnerships with local book publishers. These partnerships enable us to bring new, age-appropriate books in local languages to school libraries. Many of our publisher partners offer generous discounts for our upcoming projects, allowing us to maximize the impact of every donation. In return, we help publishers reach communities that would otherwise be out of their reach, giving them the opportunities to contribute to a greater cause.
This year, we are excited to partner with Tre Publishing House and Dinh Ti Books for our first pilot projects with 30 – 50% discounts on each book, stretching each donation further and providing more books that will spark curiosity, inspire dreams, and empower futures.
