SPEAKING ENGAGEMENTS

BRINGING HOPE

TO YOUR COMMUNITY

What happens when one family says yes to love — and it changes everything?

Charisa Knight, Executive Director and Founder of Hawassa Hope, brings a message that is equal parts raw, real, and full of hope. Her story reminds audiences that anyone can pick up the opportunity that is before them and make a difference that has ripple affects across communities.

Whether you’re hosting a Sunday service, a women’s event, a school assembly, or a fundraising dinner, Charisa will leave your audience inspired, informed, and ready to act.

Hawassa Hope speaks to churches, schools, women’s groups, community organizations, conferences, and nonprofits — in person or virtually. If your audience has a heart for justice, compassion, and global impact, we’d love to connect

Every engagement is tailored to your audience and format. Whether you have 20 minutes or a full hour, Charisa will bring stories, photos, and a clear invitation for your community to get involved — through sponsorship, giving, or simply spreading the word.

Available for: Sunday services, small groups, fundraising events, conferences, school programs, and virtual presentations
