ABOUT US
Ending Poverty. Completely.
OUR MISSION IS SIMPLE
We will not stop until 896,000,000 individuals living in poverty are no longer.
We strive to achieve this mission by empowering our donors to bring the greatest impact to those with the most need around the globe.
At hopeLOANS, we know that completely ending extreme poverty takes more than just establishing small businesses. It takes education, healthcare, clean water and sustainable agriculture.
Giving loans is a critical piece of solving the complex problems of poverty.

TRANSFORMATION
We believe the gift of a Hope Loan is one of the most effective and sustainable means of ending poverty. However, complete transformation takes more, so we help fund education, healthcare and clean-water projects.

OUR APPROACH
We seek to carefully partner with the best and most impactful micro-lending organizations across the globe. Our approach to poverty alleviation comes through careful planning, execution and maintenance to ensure the greatest sustainable impact to communities.

DISCOVERY
Searching
We begin by exploring regions in which we can have the greatest impact. Our selection process is based on both economic need and a community’s willingness to participate. A pre- established framework for micro-lending is key to ensuring our impact on the ground.
Selecting a Partner
After we choose a region, we carefully explore existing MFIs, or micro-finance institutions, in the area. They must align with our standards for sustainable impact and have a proven track record of successful lending and financial responsibility.
Discovering the Greatest Need
Because of our holistic approach, we begin by supporting a region’s micro-finance institutions. As our relationship grows, we connect with our partners to explore other areas of impact so we can execute specific projects based on specific needs.
EXECUTION
Determining Hope Project Costs
The costs of executing economic, education and health projects vary depending on culture, need and resources available. We take a look at these factors and more to determine accurate cost estimations for each project. This creates accurate projections and ensures full project completion.
Setting Goals and Timelines
After a partner relationship has been established, we establish a unique step-by-step process to ensure funds travel from donors into the hands of qualified hopeLOANS recipients. Hope Projects must have clearly established timelines with planned steps and standards for measuring success.
MAINTENANCE
Evaluation
Success requires continuous care and maintenance. We follow our economic and humanitarian projects from inception to completion, ensuring goals are being met both on time and within budget.
Community Impact
True community impact requires carefully examining the execution of each project and its ability to be sustainable. If a project or loan recipient struggles, we have not done our job well. Our processes include thorough and consistent examination.
OUR PARTNERS
We choose our partners carefully to ensure the greatest sustainable impact. Each selection is based on our standards of care for the community and the individual.
We are always looking to partner with new community-centered micro-finance institutions.

OUR SOLUTIONS

Founded by Drs. Abraham and Amie Sarker in 2015, Hope Loans’ goal is the elimination of extreme poverty through micro-loans and other community development projects such as education and health services to the most underserved among families in rural areas making less than $2 per day. Today, Hope Loans partners to implement 12 microfinance branches, 28 primary schools, and a rural hospital. More recently developed projects include building latrines, wells, schools, and the innovative Sustainable Aquaculture System.
As Co-founder and CEO of Hope Loans, Dr. Abraham Sarker is passionate about developing and implementing self-sustaining solutions to fulfill Hope Loan’s mission of hope for the marginalized and oppressed. He often says, “I don’t want to be a part of something that will die with me.” As an entrepreneur and adjunct professor of business, Dr. Abraham brings distinctive expertise and experience in organizational and cross-cultural leadership. He is dedicated to transforming lives and communities for the better.
Dr. Abraham was born and raised in South Asia where he experienced abject poverty, but after completing advanced degrees in the U.S., Dr. Abraham was moved to make a difference in the developing world by bringing sustainable solutions to poverty. He earned his BBA and MBA degrees from Dallas Baptist University, and a Doctor of Strategic Leadership degree from Regent University in Virginia. He and his wife, Dr. Amie, have been bringing holistic and self-sustaining solutions to end poverty through establishing and partnering with a local NGO (non-governmental organization) in Bangladesh since 2007. He is actively involved in monitoring and developing our global NGO partners.
As Co-Founder and President of Hope Loans, Dr. Amie Sarker brings twenty years of experience in cross-cultural work and program leadership. She has effectively served diverse clients in the U.S., East Asia, the Middle East, and South Asia. Dr. Amie provides administrative leadership, also making regular trips to the developing nation communities we serve. Through her initial trips to South Asia, she and her husband, Dr. Abraham Sarker, were moved to start international development work in 2007 in response to the extreme poverty they witnessed there.
Dr. Amie received a B.A. in Education from Dallas Baptist University, her M.Ed. in Curriculum and Instruction from the University of Texas at Arlington, and her Ph.D. in Literacy Studies from the University of North Texas. Through her experience in higher education, she developed two master’s degree programs and has taught undergraduate and master’s courses at U.S. universities. A specialist in international literacy and English as a second / foreign language education, Amie joins her passion for empowering girls and women in poverty through educational and economic opportunities with leadership and research initiatives as Hope Loans engages in educational and community transformation projects.
