What comes to mind when you hear the word "hope"? Some people use the word as an inward glance, while others look for hope in dark situations. Many people cling to the hope of a better life or the hope of getting through tough times. What does hope mean to you?

We are HopeSake, a global, online marketplace made up of products from different charities that are changing lives all across the world. Our virtual shelves are stocked with merchandise from organizations that stand for everything from fighting depression and suicide to raising funds for orphanages in Africa. HopeSake brings diverse causes under one umbrella and into one shopping cart. It is an online destination to learn about new charities and pick the cause-related products you want to support.

When you purchase from HopeSake, you can feel good that what you are buying directly supports the organization you want to give back to. But it gets even better than that because now, you can double down on doing good. In addition to what the charity you buy from receives, HopeSake will give an extra 5% from your purchase to one of our favorite causes, the New Dawn School in Nairobi, Kenya.

HopeSake's charities and organizations offer hope to people who need it most. Every time you buy, you are giving hope.
