Hope for Children Kenya was formed in conjunction with different professionals in different fields to give hope to vulnerable children, youth and women in the society through creating innovative programs which seek to address some of the social issues affecting their life through community participation and involvement to bring sustainable solutions. The main goal is to provide care and support orphans and vulnerable children, and are currently supporting 15 children providing them with shelter, food and education. They also provide economic empowerment training programs for women living with HIV/AIDs and sex workers. They have successfully trained 20 women.
