Team Hope is a non-denominational Christian International Development Aid charity based in Ireland. With a small office and staff team in South County Dublin, working with a volunteer base of approx. 2,000 volunteers across Ireland and a range of International Partners mainly in Eastern Europe and Africa, Team Hope seeks to bring holistic change primarily to the lives of children, their families and their communities. In all our projects and programmes we seek to connect communities and individuals in Ireland with communities in receiving countries.  Through our Partners taking an Asset Based Community Development approach, our goal is to facilitate the enhancement of the communities that vulnerable children live in – this can involve providing clean water, quality education, healthcare, livelihoods, food or shelter for families. Team Hope is probably best known for its annual Christmas Shoebox Appeal.
