Wings of Hope (charity)

Wings of Hope is a non-profit organization that provides medical relief and humanitarian aid to people in need, primarily in remote and impoverished areas around the world. It was founded in 1963 by William and Alice Edwards.

The organization's primary focus is on using aviation to deliver medical supplies, conduct medical clinics, and transport patients to advanced medical facilities. They also undertake other humanitarian projects such as providing clean water, food, and education programs.

Wings of Hope operates a fleet of aircraft that are flown by volunteer pilots. These aircraft are used to reach communities that are often inaccessible by other means. The organization relies heavily on the support of volunteers, donors, and corporate sponsors.

The charity's work is driven by a mission to alleviate suffering and empower people to improve their lives. They partner with local organizations and communities to ensure that their aid is effective and sustainable. Wings of Hope's projects often target specific health issues, such as malaria, HIV/AIDS, and maternal health. They also respond to natural disasters, providing emergency relief and long-term support to affected communities. Wings of Hope is headquartered in St. Louis, Missouri.
