Jeff Rutt: Aiding low-income masses adapt to climate change through micro financing

It was in 1997 when Keystone Custom Homes Founder Jeff Rutt decided to establish a non-profit organization called HOPE International. Thousands of individuals and families reached and 16 countries covered later, the foundation has continued on its original thrust to renew hope and bolster socio-economic advancement in underdeveloped communities especially in third world countries.

From Jeff Rutt

Through the foundation’s microfinancing solutions, HOPE proactively engages in community projects geared towards resolving issues that plague the international community as a whole. Included among these is the need to address pressing concerns over the impacts of environmental degradation and climate change.

From Jeff Rutt

HOPE International ministers and founder Jeff Rutt recognize that these effects go beyond the evidences manifesting as extreme weather conditions and other natural disasters, effusing and causing more evident effects in the lives of people. Environmental degradation and climate change threaten the global community in a number of ways including the growing scarcity of food resources and rising occurrence of human displacement. If left unresolved, these can aggravate tensions among nations and can threateningly trigger an international war.

From Jeff Rutt

As HOPE International provides underprivileged individuals the opportunity to overcome financial challenges, it is also paving the way for them to improve their living conditions in the face of these dire environmental anomalies.
