ABOUT HOPE

HOPE OBJECTIVES

Hope's goal is to build and maintain a shelter for animals that will be cared for by homeless people who will have the opportunity for a DECENT JOB. A solid adoption campaign, in addition to training and professionalizing these people.

The shelter will be a temporary home for abandoned and sick animals, with a commitment to find permanent housing through innovative online programs and public campaigns.

There is a growing body of empirical and academic research studying the link unique between homeless people and animals.

SINGULARITIES OF THE PROJECT

There is no program anywhere in the world, to our knowledge, designed for create and operate an animal shelter with homeless people, who traditionally tend to be affectively linked. The uniqueness of the model is special.

The next step is to build the shelter. But to do that, Hope needs of your help through donations and/or sponsorship.
