Mission
Hope’s Gate is dedicated to empowering orphans, victims of human trafficking, and vulnerable individuals worldwide. Through vocational training, fair wages, and educational support, the initiative helps participants rebuild their lives with dignity and hope.
Programs and Activities
- Jewelry-Making Training: In partnership with shelters and safe houses across India, Uganda, and the Middle East, Hope’s Gate provides jewelry-making workshops. Participants earn fair wages for their handcrafted pieces, fostering financial independence and reducing susceptibility to exploitation.
- Retail Outreach: In 2016, Hope’s Gate opened a store near downtown Wylie, Texas, to sell handcrafted jewelry and raise awareness about human trafficking. In 2020, the store expanded to a larger downtown location, enhancing community engagement and financial sustainability.
- Educational Support: Established in 2017, the Hope’s Gate Education Fund provides scholarships for artisans, enabling them to pursue higher education. In 2018, seventeen students received full scholarships, breaking the cycle of poverty through academic opportunities.
