About Hope Foundation of Kenya

The Hope Foundation of Kenya began as a dream of Allan and Eve Owano and Bobby and Lisa Bechtel who wanted to help starving children to get food, and an education. Above all else, they wanted the children and their families to know that all the gifts came from God.  They started feeding just 25 children in 2005 and now they have over 1000 children enrolled and thriving in their schools near Mombasa, Kenya. Their personal hope is that by meeting basic physical needs they can help to transform the lives of whole family groups and communities in a drastic way.

The Hope Foundation of Kenya, Inc. is a 501(c)3 Nonprofit organization that has a goal to provide food, education, basic health care, Biblical truth and God's love to families in poverty.

Over the past twenty years, we have built a school system that runs from pre-primary to high school. Presently we have over 1,000 students learning on our campuses.  All of these children receive free nutritious meals and no cost medical care. Our educational system has produced intelligent, well-rounded adults with a growing number of our alumni attending and graduating from university and vocational training programs.

Just look at these stats:

• 17,200 meals given every week
• 1,104 children educated every week
• Hundreds have graduated from our high school
• Clean water provided for 5 rural communities
• Seven churches started promoting spiritual growth
