New Hope

NEW HOPE is a charity which started in 1998. We are registered in the United Kingdom with the Charity Commission, charity number 1070796. We are also registered with HMRC to claim gift aid, and have full accounting and governance policies in place, overseen by our board of Trustees.

New Hope Charity aims to provide medical care to some of the poorest and disadvantaged people on earth. The world’s poorest countries are classified by the World Bank, which ranks them based on their gross national income per capita.

Right now, in 2025, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) is ranked 4th from bottom. It has high rates of malnutrition, lack of modern healthcare, and poor education, in addition to facing political instability and conflict.

We discovered the border town of Kasindi in 2013, to where many internally displaced people have been fleeing from rebel violence. We purchased land in Kasinda in 2016, and we built a small hospital, which we opened in 2018. We have added a fresh water well, 12 solar panels and an ultrasound machine, training several staff to use this in 2023. We have also added an operating theatre, staff quarters and a laboratory block. As a result we are treating many sick adults and children each month, predominantly very poor internally displaced people. We now wish to add an x-ray facility, and can acquire a basic system for £22,905 with a charity discount. This will enhance the care we offer and provide an income stream, as we can charge a very small amount from those who can afford it, helping the sustainability of the project. X-ray facilities are critical to good health-care. We cannot treat trauma or chest disease without it.

So we are holding a fund-raising charity ball on May 9th 2025.
