In 2020 Sports Outreach partnered with Hikes for Hope.
Make every step count.
Uganda
While walking this map you will get to see the individuals for whom you are making a difference, hear and read encouraging stories, and also enjoy friendly competition with other individuals and groups who are walking through the map as well.
Work it.
Croatia
We are working towards creating and completing the Crotaia map. Not only will you be able to virtually hike the Uganda map, but will soon be able to make a difference for the people in Croatia too. This only becomes a reality when you take the first step.
Build it.
India
The Hikes for Hope work doesn’t have to end with Uganda and El Salvador as Sports Outreach serves in other countries, including India. Taking the first step is hard but we need your help to make a change. Join us in making Hikes for Hope a reality everywhere.
Grow it.
Hikes for Hope was birthed from the Covid-19 pandemic. Throughout 2020 trips to the countries that Sports Outreach has a ministry in, were canceled. Hikes for Hope was founded with the idea that people could still do missions overseas even if they couldn’t physically go to the country itself. Though many restrictions had lifted, every country was different, and sending a team out at the beginning of 2021 was still limited. Through Hikes for Hope, we want to see a whole new way to do ministry and encourage others to do so from the comfort of their own community.
The Hikes for Hope program, coordinated by Sports Outreach Institute, aims to bring together individuals to participate in month long, virtual hikes in one of Sports Outreach’s ministry sites, creating awareness and raising funds to help the people in that country.
Sports Outreach wants to get you involved both physically and financially. We have partnered with a mobile application platform that will track your steps and collect them through your phone. By utilizing the fitness or health app, the steps will tracked and then superimposed onto a map of the country you chose. As you walk or run in your own community in the USA, your steps are recorded, and progress is made on the map.
With this initiative comes multiple fundraising options! Funds raised can go 100% towards the mission, there can be a 50/50 split between the mission and your cause, hikers can pay a flat fee, or they could fundraise per mile. These hikes are very customizable to fit your needs!
