Light and Hope Initiative is a non-governmental charity working to benefit the most vulnerable community members in the informal settlements in Kenya through our integrated programs such as: 1. Education We partner with individuals, churches and organizations to support the vulnerable children in Mathare slums through child sponsorship program and paying for their school fees, two meals each day, school uniforms, and their medication. We regularly do intentional visits to their homes to follow up on their progress guided by our child protection policy (CPP) to ensure the children are always safe. We also nurture and develop the talents in our children. 2. Empowerment Through our empowerment programs, we create jobs and a reliable income for parents of our students and other community members who have little to no formal education. We show thousands of people from impoverished backgrounds that they are resource-rich in ability, determination, ingenuity, and motivation. 3. Restoration Being whole means being healthy. We carry out Health initiatives, advanced physical, mental, emotional, relational and spiritual health support programs in the community. Within neighborhoods, community development starts with relationships. Through our community engagement program, we engage and equip one community member to equip and mobilize others. We help communities identify their needs, evaluate their God-given resources and find solutions on improving their lives. For example, community gardens, clean-up days, or construction of public restrooms. Through Education, Mentorship and Empowerment we set these families on improved trajectories and break the inter-generational cycle of poverty that has long existed here in Mathare slums.
