Hope Through Health ( HTH ) is a Massachusetts-based nonprofit health organization Boston, based in Massachusetts founded in 2004 by Peace Corps volunteer Kevin Fiori, Jr. and Dr. Peter Davenport in partnership with a community of people living with HIV/AIDS, the Espoir Association pours Demain-Lidaw. The organization aims to provide HIV care and care services in Kara, Togo, West Africa where the service is not yet available. Its mission is to provide effective, efficient, and community-based health care in Togo.
Hope Through Health currently serves a population of 37,000 people in northern Togo and operates through nine rural clinics. Hope Through Health envisions "a world where high quality health is available to all individuals regardless of their ability to pay, thus promoting human equality and dignity." This organization was inspired by the founder of Partners In Health, Dr. Paul Farmer.

Program
Hope Through Health employs public health workers to provide home care and refer patients to the clinic, while simultaneously strengthening local clinics.
Hope Through Health was established in 2004 in response to the acute need for HIV/AIDS care and treatment in northern Togo. Hope Through Health in partnership with AED-Lidaw, initially focused on providing care for people living with HIV/AIDS. Since then the program has been expanded to include prevention of the mother-to-child transmission program (PMTCT) launched in 2005 and replicated by the Togo Health Ministry at a regional general hospital in 2010.
In August 2015, Hope Through Health expanded its program to provide more services for mothers and children. The Mother and Child Health Program is designed to address the main obstacles that make women unable to access health services, including distance to the clinic, high user costs, lack of adequate training for clinical workers, and lack of supplies at the clinic.
