FAQ
Organization
Hope Carrier is under the umbrella of Hope Global – an international nonprofit organization focused on educating the poor and alleviating poverty. Hope Carrier was created for two purposes – to ensure children are provided with resources that allow them to go to school and given the opportunity to learn about Jesus.
Tax Exempt
Every purchase made on the Hope Carrier website is a tax-deductible donation in the United States and Australia. Once the purchase is complete, the buyer will receive a tax receipt via email.
Distribution
Hope Carrier backpacks are distributed in India, Thailand and South Africa.
Product
Every product we distribute is sourced locally. This is an important element of our goal to alleviate poverty and create jobs in poor communities.
Education is the bedrock of all thriving communities around the world. In the developing world, poor families cannot afford to provide the necessary items to attend school such as a backpack, school supplies or a uniform. This gift of a backpack filled with school supplies allows children to attend school and open the door to a successful, stable life.
Every Hope Carrier bag is manufactured in India. We partner with local suppliers who employ women, offer a fair wage and guarantee a safe working environment.
Shipping
Hope Carrier backpacks are delivered by a local volunteer in each region of distribution. Once the item has been delivered, you will receive an email confirming a child has received the backpack you purchased for them. Our distributions occur regularly and we estimate roughly 30 days from the time you purchase a backpack to it being in the hands of a child. Please know that this period may be longer, and we guarantee a delivery within 90 days of purchase.
