Founded in Ghana in 2008 by John Incoom, Future Hope International (FHI) is a grassroots international Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) committed to improving the lives of the most vulnerable members of society, such as street children, orphans, underprivileged elderly people, and People with Disabilities (PWDs).

FHI was initially established as an advocacy organization promoting and supporting PWDs from Africa to attend international conferences and events promoting disability rights to enable them to have a greater voice in economic and rights planning. Since its inception, the organization has supported more than 80 PWDs from Ghana and other African countries to participate in and contribute to the following international conferences:
