Project HOPE (Health Opportunities for People Everywhere) is an international global health and humanitarian aid non-governmental organization founded in the United States in 1958. Project HOPE works in five main areas: disasters and health crises; infectious diseases; noncommunicable diseases; maternal, neonatal and child health; and health policy.[1] The organization has been led by President and CEO Rabih Torbay since 2019.[2]

Project HOPE helps different developing countries in efforts to eradicate infectious diseases like HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis.[3] They also help educate parents on how to prevent and treat diseases for their children and themselves, and also train health professionals. Project HOPE also sets up village health banks, which give small loans to women so they can improve their health and family's health.

Project HOPE is headquartered in Washington, D.C.
