Our Vision

To make quality education accessible to HIV orphaned and destitute children; beginning in Kisumu, Kenya.


Our Mission

1. Provide residential housing for 200 orphans, plus educational facilities and sanitary water supply to 300 students, and their community.
2. Provide a solid foundation in a family environment, a sense of belonging and spiritual enlightenment for the children we serve.
3. Support revenue-producing initiatives that will help sustain our projects.
4. Build partnerships with communities, churches, philanthropic organizations both locally and globally to help us reach our goals.

 

Our Goals

1. To empower disadvantaged children so that they can grow to be productive citizens, give back and rebuild their communities.
2. To create and nurture leaders who will impact change in different parts of the world.
3. To present our volunteers with the opportunity to travel to our school and interact directly with the children and take part in building the project through "voluntourism", teaching, research or for a personal uplifting experience.

 

Our Code of Ethics

1. We are focused exclusively on our mission and don’t pursue anything that does not serve it.
2. To ensure that we are efficient, effective and financially responsible, we test our actions and measure our success by how well we achieve specific goals central to our mission and not by how well we raise funds or build our public image.
3. To ensure that our children come first, we subordinated our own organizational and personal interests to the interests and well being of the population we serve.
4. We strictly adhere to the principles of integrity and trust, always respecting longstanding principals of sound governance by an actively engaged board of directors.
5. We believe that resources needed to achieve our mission are abundant; we work with partners and share what we know in common cause with others pursuing the same mission.

 

Project Mtoto

One of our initial projects is Project Mtoto. We are building a village within Kisumu, Kenya. This village will become home to 200+ orphaned children and will include a school, library, play area, guesthouse, and a sanitary water supply that will support 200+ orphans and 300 additional students. The site also accommodates farmland to enable the village to become nutritionally self-sustaining.

 

 

 


Our Team
HFTC offers individuals and corporations opportunities to make a significant difference in these children's lives through monetary donations and/or active participation. A strong team, both in the United States and on the ground in Kisumu go a long way to realizing our mission. We have the strength and the ability to make a positive impact in the lives of many, one child at a time.



 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 



Our Students

The students that we serve consist of children from various disadvantaged groups, including but not limited to, children from backgrounds of poverty, abuse and HIV/AIDS in the Kisumu area.
Hope for the Child will enable orphans to become adults who are able to contribute to society and defeat poverty for generations to come. Through education and community leadership initiatives, we inspire children to realize their full potential in life. The aim of HFTC is to bring not only food and substance to the body, but to nurture the mind and soul through love, education, and parental guidance.
