Sara Kiely

Sara Kiely, originally from Bend, now lives in Portland, Oregon, as she works in Public Health for the State of Oregon and pursues her Master’s Degree in Public Health through the University of Southern Florida. Sara received her Bachelor of Science degree from Portland State University in Public Health Education.

Prior to moving back to Portland, Sara traveled to Ghana and volunteered in the Nutrition Program with Point Hope Ghana. She intended to stay for a few months, but ended up signing on as the Point Hope International Volunteer Coordinator; she remained in Ghana for approximately 18 months, offering invaluable assistance to volunteers and staff, alike.

“I founded Point Hope as a 501(c)3 non-profit or charitable organization because I was ONE person who wanted to be blessed through helping and I strongly believed there would be other individuals who felt the same, but might not know how to get started, so....

Come be blessed!! 100% of your donations go directly to help people and support the operations of Point Hope. I have made it my responsibility to cover all administrative fees, so you will know your investment in humanity stretches as far as possible.
”
