The brothers of the Taizé Community live entirely by their work. They do not accept any donations. Similarly, if a brother inherits something from his family, the community makes a gift of it for the very poor. The community brings support to people in difficulty on the different continents, especially to children who are destitute or sick. In addition, it helps certain young people coming either to Taizé or to the European, Latino-American, African or Asian meetings: many of them cannot cover the entire cost of their stay or their travel because they come from so far away… By means of Operation Hope, those who wish may participate in this mutual assistance. Some examples of recent commitments of Operation Hope In South Sudan In a village 25 km. south of Rumbek, some fifty families of lepers live; they have come from the entire Great Lakes region. Although medical treatment heals the disease and removes all danger of contagion, the loss of limbs sometimes remains a great handicap. The social stigma continues to affect them. The lepers cannot stay in their place of origin. Their children, even if they themselves have not been touched by the disease, are not welcome in school. The courage and hope of these families who have started a new life from scratch in great isolation and precariousness are remarkable. Operation Hope will help build a building for the primary classes, so that the children can continue to study even during the rainy season. The civil war, the fees demanded and the lack of schools have kept many young people from continuing their schooling; helping them to develop their full potential is a priority. Setting up the Youth Opportunity Center wants to give a strong signal in favor of this commitment. On land occupied by the resources of an NGO during the civil war, the Church wants to develop a place of welcome, activities and formation open to young people of all backgrounds. Operation Hope will contribute to building a multipurpose room to replace the leaking tent.

Many responded to the call of the community for solidarity with the people of North Korea. Dozens of packages of basic medicines, were picked up hundreds of stethoscopes, thermometers, boxes of bandages, gauze, syringes and various medical supplies. Also several large boxes of surgical devices and two sterilizers were given. Operation Hope has added two new oxygen concentrators. Everything was packed onto four pallets. In North Korea the Red Cross will undertake the distribution of the supplies to hospitals and rural clinics. This aid in collaboration with the North Korean Red Cross continued in 2012 and 2013 by sending medical equipment (including an electrocardiogram, microscopes and emergency kits for doctors) and medicine for hospitals. In 2011, through Operation Hope, the Community made humanitarian shipments for those who lacked food in North Korea: 260 tons of wheat flour and 120 tons of noodles. In 2007 the Community had sent a thousand tons of wheat flour. The first humanitarian shipments into this country were made by the Community in 1998 and 1999: more than a thousand tons of corn were sent to the people who suffered after several years of drought and floods. Since then, every year it was possible to make a sign of solidarity by sending humanitarian aid: milk and feeding bottles for infants, medical equipment and medicines. A brother of the community, himself a native of South Korea, was several times in North Korea and he sometimes accompanied the distribution of food aid. Between 2007 and 2011, the community also invited six doctors from the Red Cross Hospital of North Korea to spend a one-year internship in France. In 2009, Taizé had one million Bibles printed in China At the European meeting which brought together 40,000 young people in Brussels at the end of 2008, Brother Alois announced that, to respond to the needs of the Christians of China, the Taizé Community was going to have printed one million Bibles in China—200,000 complete Bibles and 800,000 New Testaments with Psalms. The printing was done in Nanjing, and from there the books were delivered across the country in successive stages throughout 2009. In 2009, the Taizé Community is also supporting the biblical work of the Protestant Church in China. This support was continued throughout 2010 and 2011. Support for AIDS orphans in Ethiopia Operation Hope continues to help the religious sisters in Ethiopia whose work it has been supporting for more than fifteen years. In Addis Ababa they care for children who are AIDS orphans and families who are affected by leprosy. In Burkina Faso Burkina Faso is situated in the Sahel where the dry season lasts nine months without interruption. The population uses open wells that often dry up and the women are forced to use unhealthy water collected in artificial ponds during the rainy season. Sometimes they have to go as far as ten kilometres in order to find water and the rare wells that do exist become a source of conflict because of the scarcity of water and the long time they have to wait. Operation Hope supports the drilling of wells and the installation of pumps. These wells are an essential source of water supply for the people and for the prevention of sickness. In 2010, Operation Hope also supported a project to provide milk for children at the hospital of Nanoro, also in Burkina-Faso. Solidarity after Bolivian disasters In 2007, several states in Bolivia were hit by floods. The most serious was in the State of Beni. Operation Hope provided help for buying food for families in the region of Trinidad who had lost their homes and who are living in camps. While in the plains of Bolivia the problem was rain, it the mountains it was the contrary. The Altiplano was undergoing severe drought. Operation Hope helped farming families from El Alto who were in need of tools for working the earth and of seed. Schools in Bangladesh Operation Hope supports schools in Mymensingh, Bangladesh. In all, more than 1500 children study in these schools. These schools are places where young Muslim, Hindu and Christian teachers learn to work together. All of them are students themselves; they have to earn money to pay for their studies. These students understand that, if they wish to receive help themselves, it is also important for them to give something. They give their time to care for these schools, for children from very poor families. Serving the poor in this way increases the feeling of being part of one single human family. See: The stipend program schools in Mymensingh In Cambodia: a place where the sick are made welcome Every year since 2008, Operation Hope has been sending aid to support a centre for the sick, created in the Infant Jesus Parish of Boeng Tumpun, Cambodia. To respond to the needs of poor village people coming from different provinces in the country, the parish launched this project that promotes the dignity of the sick persons and provides them with the necessary medical care. The closeness to the capital, Phnom Penh, facilitates access to hospitals if that is necessary. Gifts make it possible to share in the cost of hospitalisation, but also to finance the centre itself: to pay the workers and the upkeep of the building, the cost of welcoming these people and of medication.

2014.: Poziv na solidarnost sa Sjevernom Korejom Od 1988., zahvaljujući Operaciji Nada, Taizé šalje humanitarnu pomoć Sjevernoj Koreji koja je teško pogođena nestašicom hrane. Posljednjih godina pomagali smo bolnicama šaljući opremu i lijekove. Početkom srpnja bit će organizirana nova pošiljka nužne medicinske opreme. Zajednica će osigurati njezin prijevoz u bolnice i klinike u seoskim područjima. Sjeverna Koreja ima osposobljene liječnike, no nedostaje im čak i najjednostavnija oprema. Stoga pošiljka može sadržavati sljedeće predmete u dobrom stanju: stetoskope, toplomjere, tlakomjere, čekiće za provjeravanje refleksa, igle za biopsiju jetre te kirurške instrumente koji se mogu dezinficirati. K tome, oni koji su u mogućnosti pronaći sofisticiraniju medicinsku opremu koja se više ne upotrebljava, no još je upotrebljiva, za ultrazvuk, fibroskopiju ili endoskopiju, može nam pisati na community taize.fr pod naslovom »Operation Hope«. Oni koji se pripremaju doći u Taizé, npr. za blagdan Uzašašća ili Duhova, mogu sudjelovati u ovoj pošiljci tako da pronađu opremu, donesu je u Taizé i ostave je na mjestu prijema po dolasku. Oni koji se ne mogu pridružiti ovom prikupljanju, no žele dati potporu Operaciji Nada mogu dati online donaciju. Neki primjeri nedavnih projekata Operacije Nada U Južnom Sudanu U jednom selu, 25 km južno od Rumbeka, živi nekih pedeset obitelji oboljelih od lepre; oni su došli iz cijele regije Velikih jezera. Iako medicinska njega liječi ovu bolest i otklanja svaku opasnost od zaraze, gubitak udova ponekad ostaje velik hendikep. I dalje ih prati društvena stigma. Leprozni ne mogu ostati u mjestima odakle potječu. Njihova djeca, čak i ako sama nisu pogođena bolešću, nisu dobrodošla u školama. Hrabrost i nada ovih obitelji koje su započele novi život u velikoj izolaciji i bespomoćnosti vrijedne su divljenja. Operacija Nada pomoći će u izgradnji zgrade za osnovno obrazovanje, kako bi djeca mogla nastaviti školovanje i tijekom kišne sezone. Građanski rat, troškovi i nedostatak škola mnoge su mlade spriječili u nastavku školovanja; prioritet je pomoći im da razviju svoj puni potencijal. Uspostavljanje ustanove Youth Opportunity Center želi jasno signalizirati važnost ovog angažmana. Na ovoj zemlji Crkva želi razviti mjesto gostoprimstva, aktivnosti i obrazovanja otvoreno mladima svih porijekla. Operacija Nada doprinijet će izgradnji višenamjenske prostorije koja će zamijeniti šator koji prokišnjava. Vidi i In South Sudan, summer 2013 Humanitarna pomoć poslana u Sjevernu Koreju Lijekovi i medicinska oprema prikupljena na Europskom susretu u Berlinu krajem 2011. poslani su 11. veljače 2012. kako bi u Sjevernu Koreju stigli krajem ožujka ili početkom travnja. Mnogi su se odazvali pozivu Zajednice na solidarnost s narodom Sjeverne Koreje. Prikupljeni su deseci pakiranja osnovnih lijekova, stotine stetoskopa, toplomjera, kutija zavoja, gaze, injekcija i različitih medicinskih potrepština. Također je poklonjeno nekoliko velikih kutija kirurških instrumenata te dva sterilizatora. Operacija Nada dodala je i dva nova koncentratora kisika. Sve je smješteno na četiri palete. U Sjevernoj Koreji će Crveni križ preuzeti distribuciju zaliha bolnicama i seoskim klinikama. Ova se pomoć u suradnji sa sjevernokorejskim Crvenim križem nastavila 2012. i 2013. slanjem medicinske opreme (uključujući elektrokardiograf, mikroskope i komplete prve pomoći za liječnike) te lijekova za bolnice. 2011. godine, putem Operacije Nada, Zajednica je poslala humanitarne pošiljke za one koji u Sjevernoj Koreji oskudijevaju u hrani: 260 tona pšenice i 120 tona tjestenine. 2007. godine Zajednica je poslala tisuću tona pšeničnog brašna. Prve humanitarne pošiljke u ovu zemlju Zajednica je poslala 1998. i 1999: više od tisuću tona kukuruza poslano je ljudima koji su trpjeli nakon nekoliko godina suša i poplava. Nakon toga, svake je godine bilo moguće dati neki znak solidarnosti, šaljući humanitarnu pomoć: mlijeko i bočice za hranjenje novorođenčadi, medicinsku opremu i lijekove. Jedan brat Zajednice, koji je sam porijeklom iz Južne Koreje, više je puta posjetio Sjevernu Koreju i ponekada je sudjelovao u distribuciji pomoći u hrani. Između 2007. i 2011., Zajednica je pozvala šest liječnika iz Bolnice Crvenog križa Sjeverne Koreje da provedu jednu godinu stažirajući u Francuskoj. 2009. godine, Taizé tiska milijun Biblija u Kini Tijekom Europskog susreta koji je u Bruxellesu krajem 2008. okupio 40.000 mladih, brat Alois je objavio da će, kako bi odgovorila na potrebe – kineskih kršćana, Zajednica iz Taizéa tiskati milijun Biblija u Kini –200.000 kompletnih Biblija te 800.000 Novih zavjeta s Psalmima. Tiskanje ovoga izdanja obavljeno je u Nanjingu. Odatle su knjige isporučene širom zemlje u uzastopnim etapama tijekom 2009. godine. 2009. je Zajednica iz Taizéa podržala je i biblijski rad Evangeličke Crkve u Kini. Ova je podrška nastavljena i 2011. te 2012. godine. Pomoć za siročad oboljelu od AIDS-a u Etiopiji Operacija Nada nastavlja slati pomoć redovnicama u Etiopiji čiji rad podupire već više od petnaest godina. One se u Adis Abebi skrbe za siročad oboljelu od AIDS-a i obitelji pogođene gubom. Solidarnost nakon nepogoda u Boliviji 2007. je godine više bolivijskih pokrajina pogođeno poplavama. Najozbiljnija je bila u pokrajini Beni. Operacija Nada osigurala je pomoć za kupnju hrane obiteljima u regiji Trinidad koje su ostale bez svojih domova i žive u kampovima. Dok je u nizinskom dijelu Bolivije problem bila kiša, u planinama je bilo suprotno. Na Altiplanu je vladala teška suša. Operacija Nada pomogla je zemljoradničkim obiteljima iz El Alta kojima je trebao alat za obradu zemlje, kao i sjeme. Škole u Bangladešu Operacija Nada podupire škole u Mymensinghu, u Bangladešu, od 2008. Sve u svemu, više od 1500 djece pohađa te škole. One su mjesta na kojima mladi muslimani, hindusi i kršćani uče raditi zajedno. Svi su i sami studenti; moraju zaraditi novac kako bi platili svoje studije. Ovi studenti shvaćaju da je, ako žele sami dobiti pomoć, važno da i oni nešto daju. Oni odvajaju svoje vrijeme kako bi se brinuli o tim školama, za djecu iz najsiromašnijih obitelji. Služiti ovako siromašnima pojačava osjećaj pripadnosti jednoj jedinstvenoj ljudskoj obitelji. Vidi: The stipend program schools in Mymensingh Burkina Faso Burkina Faso nalazi je u Sahelu gdje sušno razdoblje neprekidno traje devet mjeseci. Stanovništvo koristi otvorene bunare koji često presuše. Žene su tada prisiljene koristiti nezdravu vodu skupljenu za kišnog razdoblja u umjetnim jezercima. Ponekad, da bi pronašle vodu, moraju proći i do deset kilometara. Tada, zbog nestašice vode i dugotrajnog čekanja, rijetki bunari postaju povod sukoba. Operacija Nada podupire bušenje bunara i postavljanje pumpi za vodu. Ti su bunari prijeko potrebni za opskrbu stanovništva vodom i sprječavanje bolesti. 2010. godine, Operacija Nada je također podržala projekt nabavke mlijeka za djecu u bolnici u Nanorou, u Burkini Faso.
