What We Do

Heart of Hope's main aim is to bring Hope to the world's most hopeless people. Today around two billion people worldwide have less than two dollars a day to live on. Of those, just under one billion live on just one dollar a day. Over 100 million children are still unable to go to school. Each year, 10 million children die before their 5th birthday. 40 million are living with HIV and AIDS, and 5 million die of it each year. Despite those horrendous figures Heart of Hope believes change is possible.

At present Heart of Hope works alongside a Community Based Organisation in Kenya called Njia Panda Ya Tumaini (NPYT) (when translated from its Swahili name means Crossroads of Hope). NPYT runs two children's projects, one long term the other short term. Their vision is to give children all their basic human rights, especially the right to be a child, a vision shared by Heart of Hope. Since 2005 Heart of Hope has financially supported NPYT as well as donated children's toys/games, footballs and kits, stationery, mattresses and bedding in order to improve the quality of life for the children at the two projects.

For many of the children at the two projects they have had to work in order to survive prior to going to one of the projects, with others having no family due to the AIDS crisis so a small gift makes a huge difference to the lives of these children.
