As the founder and project manager of River of Hope since 2010, I have a very clear ambition for our center. It is to ensure self-sustainability through the support of local entities. In order to achieve those goals, they need to understand and embrace PEP (Purpose -Energy-Patience). Only then will this project will be sustainable and a success.

We do it with "PEP"

1. Purpose – we understand why do we do what we do. 

2. Energy – the local population needs to have the energy and will power to be a part of their own development 

3. Patience – change does not happen overnight. Development needs more time then what the developed world thinks. 

Together, and with the necessary tools and support, we take small steps. They allow the locals to succeed, become even more engaged and motiviatet to create a better future for themselves and their families.

Thank you to all our partners in Europe, people from all over the world for your trust, financial and moral support throughout the years.
