We know we share a lot about the benefits of routine website maintenance. Which is why we’re excited to also show you how great a maintenance package can be for your business by highlighting one of our maintenance clients: Esperança. This fantastic, Phoenix-based nonprofit’s mission is to “improve health and provide hope through disease prevention, education and treatment for every life we touch.” They partner with nongovernmental organizations in the US, Mexico, Central America, and parts of Africa to help those in need.
Hammersmith Support was honored to redesign the Esperança website over a year ago, and the organization has been a maintenance client ever since. We are grateful for Esperança’s marketing manager, Elena Burr, who shared her experience as a maintenance client.
Tell us a little about you and your organization.
“At Esperança, we believe in a world where every person is thriving, creating new possibilities and promising futures. In the communities we serve, that world can feel far away. When children grow up in unsafe environments, when healthcare infrastructure simply doesn’t exist, when education is a luxury good, it’s incredibly hard for families to focus on anything other than survival.
Since 1970, Esperança has built optimal social, mental, and physical health in under-resourced communities across the globe, taking care of urgent needs so that people can focus on their families’ futures.
Our unique approach is rooted in the belief that no matter what, the community comes first. It’s not our place to tell people what they need—our job is to listen. That’s why we provide a wide range of services that respond to the unique needs of any given community. Whether we’re launching a medical intervention, providing essential health education, or serving freshly prepared meals, we work collaboratively with the communities we serve, acting in partnership to remove barriers and provide direct service.
When we are freed of the difficulties of the day, we can plan for the future. Esperança helps individuals today so that their communities can thrive tomorrow.”
