“I look at administrative costs of charities, and am impressed by how much Effect Hope has achieved on a shoestring budget, giving as much as they can of donation funds directly to those who need it.”
— M. W. Canada

Testimonial
Whenever I Can
“Seeing a man with leprosy begging on the streets of Nepal, I felt an overwhelming compassion to help. My travel companion explained that some people are forced to beg for survival, which left me feeling powerless. That moment led me to make it my life’s mission to cure leprosy.
I give to Effect Hope whenever I can and encourage others to do the same. I won’t need my money when I pass, and my kids don’t need all of it either. But that young person just diagnosed with leprosy who needs the cure? That’s someone my money can help. That’s why I’ve made a gift in my Will to Effect Hope.”
– Bernadette, Legacy Donor
