Lighting a path
out of poverty.

Bring hope for a brighter future.

Our mission is to provide education and health interventions to impoverished students and communities in Kenya. We believe that simply being born into poverty should not dictate the end of an individual's story.

Empower leadership to improve communities.

Through culturally informed programming, we provide tools that help individuals and communities flourish and break out of the cycle of poverty

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.

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.

Since 2011, Light Up Hope has provided hope to orphaned and impoverished children and young adults in Kenya.
