Since 2000, HopeCore has provided quality healthcare and loans to the women, men, youth, and children of Kenya. From a humble beginning, we have grown from serving 12 resource-poor women with a budget of only $5,000 to serving over 425,000 community members.
Ours is a story of bringing hope, health, and empowerment to the underserved of Kenya.
Community Health Promoters
In a historic partnership with the Kenya Ministry of Health, HopeCore has the responsibility to train, evaluate, and supervise 1265 Community Health Promoters. In the last year, HopeCore-empowered CHPs have completed over 1,043,003 educational household visits.
Micro Enterprise
The HopeCore Micro Enterprise Program goes beyond microfinance—it’s a pathway to sustainable poverty eradication and economic empowerment in Tharaka Nithi County. By integrating capacity building, funding client-centered enterprises, and offering tailored financial support, we equip entrepreneurs with the skills, resources, and mentorship needed to break the cycle of poverty.
School Health
In a unique partnership with the Ministry of Education starting as early as 2011, HopeCore has provided health education, free clinical services, insecticide-treated malaria prevention bed nets, clean treated drinking water systems, and handwashing soap to a complete school district serving 119,145 students in 615 schools. In addition, we have trained 281 Teacher Health Champions to supervise students in 181 active health clubs.
Maternal and Child Health
Since 2015, HopeCore has pioneered innovative village-based child maternal health clinics, which offer mothers with young children growth chart monitoring, free clinical health services, immunization, comprehensive family planning services, and ongoing education in raising a healthy child. This program has benefited over 65,345 caregivers and 39,340 children.
Eye Health
In 2021, HopeCore initiated a vision health program at 416 partner schools to improve the vision and health of students. Our program provides health education on eye care, vision acuity screening, free treatment for eye infections, and free eyeglasses. Since 2021, HopeCore has provided eye care education and vision acuity screening to 132,472 students. During this time, we have identified 4,037 children with abnormal vision, issued glasses to 464 children, and paid for surgeries for 21 children.
Water, Sanitation & Hygiene
In addition to providing clean treated drinking water systems and handwashing soap to 284 schools, HopeCore-empowered CHPs have consistently ensured that at least 90.5% of homes have handwashing stations. They've also continued to educate our clients on the importance of treating all of their drinking water, hand hygiene, and home sanitation.
