HOPE Raises Funds to Build Earthquake-Resistant School in Nepal

Certified Retirement Financial Advisor Darcy Bergen serves as the president and managing partner of Bergen Financial Group, a private advisory firm in Arizona. Darcy Bergen’s leadership skills and commitment to excellence extend to charitable initiatives such as Bergen’s Mission, where he serves as a treasurer.

Based in Africa, Bergen’s Mission is a nonprofit that helps children and orphans experiencing poverty to find safe and permanent homes. Bergen’s Mission has close ties with Hope for the Nations, also known simply as HOPE. This charitable institution provides shelter, food, healthcare, and education to at-risk children. 

When an earthquake struck Nepal in 2015, thousands of schools were severely damaged causing approximately a million children to lose safe classrooms in which to continue their education. HOPE partnered with Small World to set up temporary structures that would allow at-risk children to continue learning amidst the tragedy. Now, HOPE and Small World are seeking to raise CAD 30,000 in funding to construct a stable and permanent school so that the children and teachers no longer have to stay in unsafe buildings.
