Who Are We?
Humanitarian Operations (HOPE) began as a disaster relief agency in 2004, responding to major crises including the Indian Ocean Tsunami, the Haiti Earthquake, and Hurricane Katrina. Over time, we’ve expanded our mission to tackle educational inequality, with the goal of providing free, high-quality education to every child, regardless of background or location.
What It’s Like To Work At HOPE
At HOPE, we operate with the spirit and agility of a startup. We prioritise creativity, collaboration, and autonomy, and we believe every team member plays a crucial role in helping us achieve our mission.
We do not believe in traditional hierarchies or micromanagement. Instead, we support individuals in doing their best work while encouraging open communication, innovation, and growth.
This internship is not just about building your CV—it’s about building something that matters.
