Hope for the Child, founded in 2007, is a non-profit organization based in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The goal of Hope for the Child is to foster the education, growth, development, and eventually societal leadership of orphans or otherwise disadvantaged children in Kisumu, Kenya and surrounding communities.
Arise N' Shine Academy
Our first project, Arise N' Shine Academy, has been developed and is currently a nursery school,
daycare, and first grade facility serving 120 disadvantaged and/or orphaned children in Kisumu.
Along with school lessons, the Academy also provides food, shelter, healthcare, and clothing to
all of the children..
Project Mtoto Village
Our concurrent initiative, Project Mtoto, aims to provide a home, a school, a water-well, library and farming land that will not only serve the children at Project Mtoto, but the community at large.
Asembo Water Well
Additionally, we are working diligently to provide a water well
for the destitute villagers of Asembo who have sincerely and urgently
requested our help.
