What Springs of Hope Foundation does

Springs of Hope Foundation is a US-registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit (USA Springs of Hope Foundation Inc., EIN 37-1846348, registered in Illinois and Texas) that has been operating humanitarian programs in northern Iraq since 2013. Its field operations span Shariya Camp, Dohuk, and War City, employing 32 local staff, and it serves displaced Yezidi, Syrian, and Christian populations — reaching a cumulative 216,983 beneficiaries since 2016.

The foundation runs a portfolio of roughly eleven programs covering education (Hope Academy of Music, Hope Academy of Art), livelihoods (Sewing Hope, The Hope Garden with beehives and handmade soaps, Horses for Hope), health (The Hope Clinic), sports and recreation (Hope United, Rainbow Zone), child sponsorship (Hopefully Yours), and infrastructure (Building Hope, The Hope Centre). There is no disclosed proprietary technology product beyond a donor-facing mobile app launched on iOS and Android. Operations rely on local staff rather than remote or AI-based infrastructure.

The business model is donation-funded: revenue comes from individual donors, trusts, foundations, and Bitcoin contributions. The only published price point is a $65/month sponsor commitment under the Hopefully Yours child-sponsorship program. Leadership comprises Founder Lisa, CEO Dr. Saeed Alo Khudeida, and GM Musa. The organization has no M&A, venture funding, or commercial product revenue.
