What is the HOPE Foundation?

The Hope Foundation for Women and Children of Bangladesh was founded to assist those in greatest need. With a critically high mortality rate among mothers, infants, and children, Bangladesh could benefit greatly from comprehensive health education and early intervention programs. These programs would focus on preventing and managing infectious diseases and providing essential treatments. The scarcity of healthcare workers and facilities means that the health needs of the population are largely unmet.

The Bangladeshi Students’ Association at UF prides itself on giving back through the HOPE Foundation through numerous events and fundraisers.
