STRATEGIC MANDATES AND PRIORITIES

Increase Reach

Sustainability is so important, especially when it comes to something we can’t prevent but can easily treat, like clubfoot. Vision 2025 has country-specific strategies to work toward national sustainability and international partnership and reach. We plan to further equip health professionals with the knowledge and resources they need for clubfoot care. And we will work with others to eliminate disability from clubfoot globally.

Continuously Improve Care and Treatment

Sadly, most children in the developing world with clubfoot have not received proper care, leaving tens of thousands, if not millions, of kids facing a lifetime of disability, vulnerable and without hope. When families and children come to a Hope Walks partner clinic, we want it to be a happy, hopeful and friendly experience. We do this by training staff on standards of care and treatment, improving our clinical outcomes, providing tools for data collection and patient follow-up, and increasing parents'/caregivers' knowledge of treatment. We support families who are most vulnerable to ensure they stay in treatment and receive the highest level of care in Jesus’ name.

Integrate Christian Commitments

The impact donors make through Hope Walks is more than physical; it's spiritual. Sharing Christ's love with these families is one thing that sets us apart. We plan to do this through more intentional church partnerships, engaging with local faith leaders, and systematic and coordinated integration of our witness to Christ in our work. We are working to build upon our greatest strength; our foundation and assurance of Christ.

Increase Supporter Development and Engagement

Hope Walks' work is impossible without the support of our partners. Recognizing and engaging the resources and talents around us through our donors, churches, foundations and corporate sponsors is essential in reaching all children born with clubfoot in the countries where we serve. In Vision 2025, we will build these relationships and encourage deeper relationships to the glory of God and so that more kids walk free from the disability of clubfoot.

Strengthen Organizational Capacity

If it is true that healthy things grow, we must ensure a strong and healthy organization as the foundation for future growth. We will establish financial standards, structures and systems to help us steward resources well. We will maintain a competent, engaged and productive workforce who are provided the support and resources they need for their families to flourish as well. Finally, we will strengthen accountability at every level.
