Sustaining with David
Over the years, we’ve been honored to support David and his team at Go Live Dare in Zambia. Our partnership began with the launch of HyHOPES—an initiative that brings immediate hope through menstrual hygiene training and essential supplies, and eternal hope through the message of God’s love.
To strengthen this work, IYS developed custom training curriculum and provided sewing machines so teams could produce reusable cloth sanitary pads locally. As the initiative grew, we assisted Go Live Dare in scaling the ministry by establishing the Hope Hub—a “multi-hope facility” that now houses their sewing shop, team offices, and youth hangout spaces.
As Go Live Dare entered a sustainability stage, IYS helped them launch Hope Farms, a micro-agriculture enterprise designed to create long-term impact and local stability. Today, more than 2,000 students receive hope each year through these combined efforts—resulting in a harvest of crops…and souls! Thank you to all of our supports who are helping to end period poverty and bring hope to youth in Africa.
Learn More About HyHopes
HyHOPES exists to inspire high hopes through hygiene and hope.
From time to time we offer advanced support to assist a client in seeing their dream come true. One such special project is called HyHOPES, a client initiative of Go Live Dare Foundation Zambia. Sadly, in many underdeveloped countries, the lack of education on feminine hygiene can lead to increased urinary tract infections, cases of cervical cancer, school dropouts, and teen pregnancies (often not of their own choosing). Our clients want to change the status quo and restore girls dignity. Thus, HyHOPES offers immediate, lasting, and eternal hope to girls through menstrual hygiene training and resources.
Immediate hope is provided through menstrual health and hygiene training and Hope Packs containing washable cloth sanitary pads, panties, and essential toiletries. By empowering girls to understand their God given identity, value, and purposes HyHOPES fosters lasting hope which inspires girls to pursue higher hopes. Most importantly, HyHOPES provides eternal hope to youth through the Good News of God & His wonderful plan for their lives.
Our consulting includes support services such as strategic planning and operations, industry research, partner develop, logistics, resource acquisition, communication and marketing solutions, curriculum development, and more.
Thanks to our generous financial partners, we have helped our clients successfully start HyHOPES, which this year alone is well on-track to bring high hopes to hundreds of hopeless youth. As the initiative matures, there are plans to host outreaches in two largest metro areas and integrate a boy’s component to the programming. Amazingly, we believe HyHOPES can bring high hopes for as little as $12.00 USD per youth!
