Voice of Hope Foundation: Overview

Voice of Hope Foundation (VoHF) is a non-profit organization based in Machakos County, Kenya. Situated in Komarok Location, a semi-arid region that receives less than 800mm of rainfall annually, the communities here face significant challenges in agriculture.

Objectives

VoHF aims to rehabilitate young boys, support women suffering from HIV/AIDS, and incorporate orphaned children, some of whom have no parents. The foundation was established to address the dire circumstances faced by the boy-child, and women living with HIV/AID in the region, providing them with hope and support.

History

VoHF began its journey in 2014 in the Soweto slums of Nairobi. The founders, Resper and Evans Gichana, witnessed the vulnerability of young boys in the slums who were often involved in criminal activities to survive. This led to the creation of a makeshift center to shelter these boys and provide them with a safe environment.

Relocation to Machakos County

Due to the growing number of boys needing shelter, VoHF received a donation of land in Machakos County, Komarok Location. Although they have not yet erected any structures on the donated land, the boys are presently sheltered in rented premises.

Programs and Services

VoHF offers various programs aimed at rehabilitating young boys and supporting women and orphaned children. These programs include:

• Rehabilitation for Young Boys: Providing shelter, education, and counselling to help boys reintegrate into society.

• Support for Women with HIV/AIDS: Offering medical care, counselling, and support groups to help women manage their condition.

• Incorporating of Orphaned Children: Providing a safe and nurturing environment for orphaned children, ensuring they receive education and emotional support.

Impact and Future Goals

 VoHF continues to make a significant impact on lives. The foundation aims to expand its services and reach more individuals in need and orphaned children, providing them with the support and resources necessary to lead better lives. Together, we can turn dreams into reality.
