Carolina HopeFest
The Reason for Hope
Our Partner
Nourish International is a student response to global poverty. During the school year, Nourish Chapters run small businesses on their campus called Ventures and invest the money they've earned in sustainable development projects. Over the summer, Nourish students travel to work alongside members of the community in implementing the project.
This year, Nourish is working with students on 29 campuses. Since 2003, Nourish Chapters have sent more than $145,000 and 140 students to 23 communities around the world.

This year the Carolina HopeFest is working with Nourish to dramatically increase the impact of the HopeFest on poverty and AIDS in Africa. In years past all proceeds from HopeFest have benefited Beacon of Hope in Nairobi, Kenya (see description below). This year, with the help of Nourish International, we will expand to other organizations in east Africa by creating matching grants for Nourish chapters around the country to work with partner organizations of Africa Rising. In short, the proceeds from HopeFest will be doubled by Nourish so that we can have a greater impact.
