Join us March 1, 2018, for our Speaker Tom Hendrickson as he shares an update on Iringa Hope.
In 2016, Iringa Hope is working in 35 rural villages in the Iringa, Tanzania region. Rural Iringa is the poorest region of the country. Over 85% of the resident...s of these villages are subsistence farmers with incomes averaging less than $300/year. According to government surveys, less than 1% of these residents have access to financial services leading to depressed incomes with few opportunities for improvement.

In December 2002, nine-year-old Mitch Chepokas, terminally ill with bone cancer, withdrew the entire $6,000 from his savings account and put it in envelopes for the kids on the pediatric oncology floor at the hospital. After giving away all of his money, Mitch made a pinky swear promise with his dad to always help children with cancer and their families after he was gone. Mitch passed away on April 11, 2003, and shortly afterwards, the Pinky Swear Foundation was established by Mitch’s parents, to honor the Pinky Swear Mitch made with his dad. To date, over $11 million has been raised to support brave kids battling cancer.
