Bringing hope by sharing the love of Jesus
“A Father to the fatherless, a defender of widows, is God in His holy dwelling.” — Psalm 68:5
A UK Christian charity ministering to those in spiritual, physical and emotional need across Ukraine, Moldova and Sri Lanka — young and old, rich and poor, free and imprisoned.

A ministry of hope since 1985
Hope Now is a Christian charity that aims to bring hope, by sharing the love of Jesus and making Him known — ministering to those in spiritual, physical and emotional need.
We seek to reach the young and old, rich and poor, healthy and infirm, free and imprisoned. The ministry began in 1985, working primarily in Ukraine, and since 2014 has expanded to Moldova and Sri Lanka. Over the years it has helped numerous people improve their lives.

Rooted in Ukraine, reaching further
Hope Now has been working in Ukraine since 1992, with its headquarters in Cherkassy. Since 2014 the work has reached further afield.
Ukraine
The heart of our work since 1992, based in Cherkassy: healthcare, orphan care, prison ministry, education, evangelism, care for the elderly, summer camps at Kompas Park and church support.
Moldova
Since 2014 Hope Now has extended its reach into Moldova, sharing the love of Jesus with those in need.
Sri Lanka
Partnering with Farms Lanka, we support families, enable children to gain an education, and back small farms and other income-generating projects.
Led by faithful servants
There's a small, dedicated team behind Hope Now — in the UK and in Ukraine.

Traditional Ukrainian music, full of hope
Zozulenka is a group of young people from School No. 20 in Cherkassy. Trained by their teacher Natalya, they perform regularly in Ukraine, and at the invitation of Hope Now made their first tour of the UK in 2011.
They perform traditional songs from Ukrainian culture together with some well-known English songs, and have since toured the UK several more times — keep an eye on the Latest News section for updates.
Host a concert. If your church would like to host a performance by Zozulenka, please contact the Hope Now Office. A DVD of some of Zozulenka's UK performances is also available from the office.
