For the last 24 years, HopeCore has provided quality healthcare and loans to the women 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 390,000 community members with a yearly budget of $1.6 million.

Ours is a story of bringing hope, health, and empowerment to the underserved of Kenya.

Maternal and Child Health

HopeCore has pioneered, over the last 9 years, innovative neighborhood child maternal health clinics, which offer mothers with young children: growth chart monitoring, free clinical health services, malaria prevention bed nets, comprehensive family planning services, and ongoing education in raising a healthy child. This program has benefited over 62,913 women and 37,591 children.

In 201, HopeCore initiated a vision health program at 416 partner schools to improve the vision and health of students, identifying 145 children for our vision clinic during the initial vision screening. 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 123,069 students.

Water, Sanitation & Hygiene

Water, Sanitation & Hygiene

In addition to providing clean treated drinking water systems and handwashing soap to 284 schools, HopeCore-empowered CHVs have consistently ensured that at least 87.5% 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.
