We identify needs and develop research-based training messages that are relevant and contextually appropriate. We provide these messages in various formats to a variety of audiences in an appropriate format.
Messages include evangelism, discipleship, HIV awareness, short term missions, values, church communication and many more.
Believers want to apply their faith, share it and care for others but don’t know how. We want people to believe in themselves like God does:. they have the ability to do anything through the strength of Christ.
We enable fellow believers to confidently put your faith into action through appropriate training in evangelism, HIV, values and church communication.
Change happens through ground level involvement. We gain insight into real needs through engaging with local communities.
Mentoring, partnership and support to and with local leaders and organisations lead to greater effectiveness of initiatives on ground level.
HELP US BUILD STRONGER, MORE RESILIENT COMMUNITIES.

“The HIV/AIDS Cube and the training provided by Building Hope Foundation on the use of the cube proved to be very effective in the agricultural sector.
Because the cube explains in an easy way the do’s and don’ts of HIV. Another advantage is that with the cube, farm workers can be reached, who are illiterate or migrant workers who don’t speak the local languages good enough.
We found the Cube to be highly effective in practice! We were pleasantly surprised to see the cube being more effective than we “hoped” for!!

When we arrived in Alex we started walking down a street until we saw a guy with shop who was were open and friendly with us. We then asked if we could share the gospel. While sharing with him we had about six people joining. We used the cubes to share the gospel and it was very effective as it as obvious that it kept their attention.
We asked who wanted to accept Jesus as Christ and Lord and 6six out of the seven responded. After praying with them we actually experienced how people waited in queues to hear the gospel and ask for prayers.
On our way back we stopped and thanked God for the blessed morning, and people even interrupted us with prayer requests.
“We believe that accurate, reliable information is the cornerstone of an informed response to HIV. The HIV/AIDS Cube can be a powerful tool to reach communities with accurate, balanced and culture appropriate information.
Using the cube and its guidelines can help faith communities respond appropriately, address stigma, and dispel myths”
