Our New Website is Here!

Showcasing the power of stronger health systems

This is an exciting moment! We’re thrilled to introduce the new Effect Hope website—a dynamic platform built to serve the mission we share. At Effect Hope, responsible stewardship is the foundation of everything we do, and that commitment guided the development of this powerful new tool. We recognized that to keep pace with our growing global impact and to uphold the highest standards of inclusion and integrity, a complete platform overhaul was essential.

What’s the Same?

While much of our site has been refreshed, some familiar features remain right where you expect them — just with an updated look.

  • Donate Menu: A bright yellow Donate button is now featured at the top right of every page, making it easier than ever to give.. From there, you can explore all the familiar options—like our new Gift Catalogue, Legacy Giving, Monthly Donations and more.

If you’re a returning donor, the Donor Portal is still available to view your giving history, update your information, and manage your support—it’s the same secure portal you know, now just in a new location under the Donate menu. If you need help finding it or have any questions, our Contact Us page makes it easy to reach our team directly.

What’s New?

Fresh Design & Colour Scheme
Our new site features a dynamic, modern layout inspired by colours from the places we work, with added bright accents to bring vibrancy and life to every page. Additionally, circles play a central role in the new design, symbolizing not only the uniting power of collective action, but also bringing neglected issues into the spotlight . 

Expanded Blog Section

The new blog section is divided into three core areas, making it easier to find what interests you:

  • Blogs – Reflections and insights from our team and partners.
  • News Articles – Updates on projects, recent developments in global health, and announcements.
  • Stories of Hope – Impact stories that highlight the dignity, resilience, and hope of those we walk alongside.

In-Depth Program Pages

Our new site takes you deeper into our work happening around the world.

We collaborate closely with governments, communities, and people affected by neglected tropical diseases (NTDs)—locally and globally—to strengthen health systems and ensure equitable access to care. These partnerships are rooted in mutual respect, shared learning, and a commitment to making sure no one is left behind. 

Now, you can explore this work in detail through our new program pages. Each country has its own space, highlighting local partnerships, challenges, and progress. From Uplift in Ethiopia to TRANSFORM in Liberia, these pages bring our global impact to life and showcase how change is happening community by community.

Where We Work

The new Where We Work section includes an interactive map of each country we work in. Rooted in Canada and driven by a global mission, we partner with governments and trusted local organizations across communities in the Global South, to combat neglected tropical diseases — diseases that steal lives, limit opportunities, and deepen poverty.

Ways to Give

The redesigned site makes it easier than ever to explore the many ways you can support Effect Hope’s mission. Our updated donation page brings together all giving options in one convenient place, making it simple to navigate and find the option that’s right for you.

Each page provides clear information on how different forms of support contribute to stronger health systems, transforming lives and healthier communities around the world.

Get Involved

Our new Get Involved section brings all opportunities to participate into one easy-to-navigate space. Whether from home, at your workplace, or in your community, there are so many ways to champion hope.

This section introduces opportunities like events, peer-to-peer fundraising, church partnerships, and organizational collaborations — each showing how involvement goes beyond giving. It’s about connection, creativity, and taking part in something bigger.

Every action, big or small, contributes to lasting impact. By exploring this section, you’ll see how individuals, churches, and organizations across Canada can help bring care, education, and dignity to people affected by neglected tropical diseases like leprosy — and how you can be part of this movement.

Organizational & Corporate Giving

Our new Organizational & Corporate Giving page shines a spotlight on the many ways businesses and organizations can get involved in building stronger, healthier communities.

This section showcases a wide range of opportunities — from corporate donations and employee giving programs, to foundational grants, cause marketing partnerships, and event sponsorships. Each option demonstrates how organizations can align their goals for social responsibility to create a meaningful, lasting impact in the communities most affected by neglected tropical diseases.

Together, these opportunities highlight the power of partnership: when organizations join hands with Effect Hope, they help advance healthcare access, uphold dignity, and create real change that lasts across generations.

Church Partnerships

Our new Church Partnerships page highlights why congregations choose to walk alongside Effect Hope. Rooted in a faith-driven mission, this section reflects how churches can live out the compassion of Christ by helping deliver healing and hope to those who need it most.

Furthermore, this page showcases the tangible impact churches make — from supporting treatment and rehabilitation, to renewed dignity for people suffering from preventable diseases. Beyond individual impact, the page emphasizes a bigger vision: standing in solidarity with churches worldwide, united in serving those on the margins.

What’s Refreshed

Some of our most familiar pages have been reimagined with new content and design. Our About Us page now features:

  • Our new brand video that brings our mission to life
  • Updated messaging around our three core values — Faith Inspired, People Centred, Impact Focused
  • A scrolling banner showcasing our global partners

We’ve also expanded our Research section, highlighting how evidence drives our impact.

You’ll find:

  • New research papers exploring emerging solutions in neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) and health equity
  • Clearer messaging on how research is embedded in our work — informing strategy, driving innovation, and strengthening community-based, sustainable NTD responses

We’ll keep this section updated as new findings emerge.
