Who we are
Wings of Hope is a global humanitarian nonprofit organization that has been helping the world’s most vulnerable communities since 1962. As our name suggests, we use our wings to connect people to the resources they need to meet their development goals.

Currently, we are active in 9 countries outside of the U.S.: Belize, Cambodia, Ecuador, India, Nicaragua, Colombia, Paraguay, Tanzania, and Zambia. Since our founding in 1962, we have worked in 48 countries.

We work on a global scale to help vulnerable communities access the basic resources essential for human dignity.

How can you volunteer?
Wings of Hope operates with a very small paid staff & a very large volunteer base. This enables us to spend at least 90 cents of every dollar directly on programming. We are always looking for volunteer pilots, nurses & medics to support our MAT Program. But you don’t have to be a pilot to help us. We use volunteers in administrative roles (answering the phone, stuffing envelopes, data entry, etc.) & to help with special events. We use volunteers with special skills like accounting, finance & marketing to support our fundraising efforts. We even use volunteers to keep our hangar & grounds looking great.
