Welcome to Hope H2O

Hope H2O (formerly HORCO) is a volunteer-based charity registered with the Canada Revenue Agency to carry-out water, sanitation, and education projects in developing nations. We have been working in Ethiopia since becoming a charity in 2008.

Read our Executive Director's story or our Founder's story.

Our Mission is to ensure sustainable improvement in the quality of life of marginalized people, particularly among women and children in rural Ethiopia.

How We Do It

Hope H2O provides financial resources for Board approved projects which are implemented by our partners in Ethiopia, Imagine 1 Day, who are an all-Ethiopian NGO. Our work is done in partnership with rural communities who have requested help following need - and asset-based, participatory activities with Imagine 1 Day and district government officials, and who are committed to resource-sharing to accomplish and sustain the work. Simply put: we help Ethiopians meet their own needs.

Why We Do It

The Hope H2O Board and Executive Director are dedicated to excellence in development and giving the gift of clean water and health through love and compassion that stems from faith in Jesus Christ. We seek to demonstrate Christ's love through our actions.

Our 100% Commitment

100% of the project-designated gifts we receive go directly to Ethiopia to help implement the project. This is made possible by donors who contribute directly to our administrative and fund-raising expenses.

Sustainable Partnerships

We work in concert with local authorities and rural communities, regardless of their religious faith or ethnic origin. Completed projects are turned over to the community after local personnel have been trained and mechanisms have been put in place to maintain and sustain the facilities.

Projects

Koromta Villages

Phase one of the project was finished in 2019, and Phase 2, with a large reservoir and water points started in November 2020.
