Hope Health Action

What Hope Health Action does

Hope Health Action is a Christian non-governmental organization (NGO) co-founded in 2005 by Carwyn and Reninca Hill following a visit to Haiti. The organization provides life-saving health and disability care services to vulnerable populations in Haiti, Uganda, and South Sudan, operating as two affiliated legal entities: a registered 501(c)(3) in the United States (Hope Health Action US, headquartered in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania) and a registered UK charity (Hope Health Action UK, Charity No. 1163642, headquartered in West Wickham). HHA operates through a network of partner facilities and dedicated centers including the co-founded Hopital Convention Baptiste d'Haiti (a 100+ bed hospital in northern Haiti), New Hope Bidibidi Rehabilitation Center in Uganda, New Hope Kajo-Keji Health & Disability Center in South Sudan, Grace Rehabilitation Centre, Maison de Grâce respite center, and an Oxygen Generation Plant (the only provider of medical-grade oxygen in northern Haiti). Programs span maternal/neonatal care, rehabilitation and disability services, wheelchair provision and repurposing, Plumpy'Nut malnutrition treatment, vocational training, agriculture and livelihoods support, and emergency humanitarian response.

Core products and service capabilities include specialized medical equipment deployments (mOm incubators at Justinien University Hospital, CRADLE blood pressure monitors with traffic light warning systems for community maternal health, a Wheelchair Repurpose and Repairs Programme), therapeutic food distribution partnerships with Edesia, and innovative community-based rehabilitation teams operating across refugee settlements. The organization employs approximately 150 staff across international, facility, and community teams, with partner hospital HCBH alone employing 270+ Haitian staff. Impact metrics include 20,000+ annual patients at the Haitian partner hospital, 18,000+ outpatient consultations at New Hope Kajo-Keji since opening, 1,600+ deliveries per year at the maternity unit, and 3,000+ wheelchairs distributed across Haiti, Uganda, and South Sudan.

The revenue model is donation-based with diversified streams: individual donations (one-time and regular), institutional grants from DFID, UN, USAID, and UNHCR (including a 2023 UNHCR Innovation Fund award), corporate partnerships, church and school fundraising networks, and volunteer contributions (volunteers cover their own trip costs plus contribute to program support). Go-to-market relies on direct donor appeals via website and email, community fundraising events, church/school partnership presentations, and volunteer placement programs. Pricing is illustrative rather than transactional — HHA promotes specific gift levels tied to outcomes (e.g., $185 for an emergency C-section, $29 to ship a wheelchair) but does not sell services commercially. The organization is led by CEO and co-founder Carwyn Hill MBE (appointed MBE in 2023 for services to international healthcare), with separate boards in the US and UK.

Most directly comparable to HHA's hospital co-founding approach and multi-country community health model.
• International Medical Corps: International Medical Corps delivers emergency health services and refugee-focused healthcare in conflict and disaster settings worldwide. Closely matches HHA's emergency response work, refugee settlement clinics (Bidibidi, Kajo-Keji), and partnerships with UNHCR.

Highly comparable to HHA's disability and rehabilitation focus, including Grace Rehabilitation Centre and spinal cord injury programs.

Comparable to HHA's refugee-focused clinics (Bidibidi, Kajo-Keji) but operates at a much larger scale with broader service portfolio.
