Trail of Hope

The Hope Tour, organized by Bread of Hope, is a way to connect individuals who need something to live for with those who need something to live. The Trail of hope will run from November 11-27, 2022, as 10 Hope Givers will travel a trail of hope, visiting Benin Republic, Togo, Ghana, Ivory Coast, Liberia, Sierra Leone, Gambia, Senegal, Guinea, and Nigeria.
Bread of Hope’s core team of 10 organizers and volunteers intends to make a positive difference for at least 5,000 children in West Africa. They will give out Hope Scholarships to more than 100 children living in communities with limited resources. Children will be fed and provided with Hope Boxes and personal hygiene products. The Hope Givers will give these children medical care as they share the love of God.

“Our mission is to connect people in great need of hope, giving them a reason to hang on knowing that we care for their well-being,” said a spokesperson for Bread of Hope. “The Hope Tour connects us with the children who need the most help. We are forging a new path connected to our mission of feeding body, soul, and spirit. We will create awareness about the lack of resources for underprivileged children in many poor global locations.”

Bread of Hope is a 501c 3 non-profit organization created for children and young adults. It aims to provide shelter, rehabilitation, education, psycho-social support, recreation, and a haven for orphaned, abused, neglected, abandoned, homeless, at-risk children, teens, and young adults while teaching them the truth of God’s love.

Earlier this year, founder Vivian Elebiyo-Okojie heard a clarion call to purchase 100 acres of land in Ibadan, Nigeria, to build a City of Hope – a center of restoration and a space for equipping the younger generation. It is self-funded by selling what the organization produces on the land, whatever they create, and through donations from individuals and organizations across the globe.

Some of Bread of Hope’s other initiatives include:

• Hope Box: Helps provide food and personal hygiene items to the children at the City of Hope and other children across the globe.
• Bag of Hope: School bags are provided to children in primary and secondary schools.
• Creative, Innovation & Idea Lab: Helps young people learn the art of creativity, innovation, problem-solving, and creating ideas for the 21st century.
• Learn to Earn: A program for teens and young adults 14-24 includes an in-person career exploration and development program.
• Laptop of Hope: Provides new and refurbished laptops to young adults to learn and become tech ready.
• Hope Scholarship: A scholarship program that pays yearly fees for underserved children.
