Twenty. Five. Years.
Join us in celebrating!
A quarter of a century ago, U.S. Congresswoman Linda Smith embarked on a courageous journey into the heart of the brothel district in Mumbai, India. There, amidst the harsh realities of brutal sexual slavery and exploitation of women and children, she felt a divine mandate to take action. And so, in 1998 she founded Shared Hope International, driven by the mission to make a profound difference for those victimized by commercial human trafficking. Since then, a dynamic story of prevention, restoration, and justice has unfolded, bolstered by the unwavering support of Shared Hope’s dedicated changemakers and supporters.
You’ve journeyed alongside us, bearing witness to the power of hope and the impact of your support. From Nepal to the US, your support has rewritten countless narratives, restoring hope the hopeless, preventing the exploitation of the vulnerable, and bringing justice to the exploited. Now, we warmly extend an invitation for you to meet these extraordinary individuals whose lives you’ve changed and listen firsthand to the stories you’ve played an instrumental role in writing. Join us for the 2024 Stories of Hope Founder’s Gala and 25 Year Celebration!
