Light Up Hope

Our mission is to provide education and health interventions which "light a path out of poverty" and bring hope for a brighter future for impoverished students and communities in Kenya. Our Vision is To establish Light Up Hope as a leader in initiatives that achieve social and economic advancement for individuals and elevate the economic development of Kenya. We believe that simply being born into poverty should not dictate the end of an individual's story. Central to our mission is ensuring that women, children and young adults from impoverished communities in Kenya can embrace hope for their futures. We provide hope for orphans, children and young adults who were born into under-resourced families and impoverished communities. At the time of selection, our beneficiaries meet the criteria for poverty as defined by the United Nations: “Poverty entails more than the lack of income and productive resources to ensure sustainable livelihoods. Its manifestations include hunger and malnutrition, limited access to education and other basic services, social discrimination and exclusion, as well as the lack of participation in decision-making.” We place a special emphasis on empowering women and girls to strive for gender equality and boost economic growth, that allows for individuals to break out of the poverty cycle in the communities where we work.
