How to Support Hope Rises International

You can support Hope Rises International in two direct ways that its website makes available: donate to fund medical care and gospel-centered hope for people affected by neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) like leprosy, or sign up with your email to receive stories of hope and stay connected to the work. Both options are open to anyone visiting the site — no membership or special status is mentioned as a requirement.

Donate to Fund Healing and Hope

The primary way to support the organization is financial giving. According to the site, donations fund work that goes beyond medical treatment:

• Medical care for NTDs — the organization works worldwide with Christ-centered partners to bring physical healing to people suffering from diseases like leprosy and Buruli ulcer.
• Restoration, not just treatment — the site frames its mission as transforming lives "physically, emotionally, and spiritually through the power of the gospel."
• Local partnerships — giving supports work with local pastors and faith leaders who are equipped to care for their communities both physically and spiritually.

The site uses "Donate," "Give Now," and "Donate today" as its calls to action. If you want your gift to go toward a specific outcome, the clearest example the organization gives is people like Renate — a woman who battled Buruli ulcer seventeen years ago and has since graduated from nursing school.

Before you give: the site does not list specific donation amounts, payment platforms, or whether gifts are one-time or recurring. Check the donation page itself for those details rather than assuming.

Stay Connected Through Email

If you are not ready to donate, or want to follow the impact of your support, the site offers an email signup described as "Stories of Hope, Delivered to You."

The signup form asks for:

• First name
• Last name
• Email address
• A verification step ("Please verify your request")

Submitting connects you to updates showing "how your support is bringing hope and healing to lives around the world." This is the lowest-commitment way to engage — useful if you want to learn more about the organization's work before deciding whether to give.

Support the Model, Not Just the Cause

One thing worth understanding before you choose how to give: Hope Rises International describes its approach as working through local partners rather than operating alone. The site states it partners with local pastors, faith leaders, and Christian partners to provide both vital care today and hope for tomorrow.

This matters for your decision because:

• If you value community-led, faith-integrated health work, this model matches that preference.
• If you prefer to fund purely clinical or secular medical programs, note that the organization explicitly combines medical treatment with gospel-centered hope — this is central to its stated mission, not incidental.

A Note on the Organization's Background

Hope Rises International was formerly American Leprosy Missions, which the site says has worked since 1906 — over 100 years of impact. The name change reflects a broadened calling: breaking down barriers to health, stopping disease, and reaching people isolated by NTDs. If you are researching before giving, this history is a reasonable signal of organizational track record, though the site does not publish financial breakdowns or ratings on the pages reviewed here.

Quick Comparison of Your Options

What to Check Before You Act

• Donation specifics — amounts, payment methods, and recurring options are not stated on the pages reviewed; confirm on the donation page.
• Where your money goes — the site describes global work with local partners but does not publish a cost breakdown here.
• Your own priorities — the organization is explicitly Christian and gospel-centered. If that aligns with your values, the giving and email options above are the direct paths to support it.
