Our Programs

Hope A Life International operates as an umbrella organization, focusing on seven primary programs of impact:

Hope A Life Widows’ Voices

This program highlights the challenges faced by widows in Kenya and beyond. Initially launched as a small project to assist a limited number of widows, it has expanded to positively impact 75,000+ widows, a small fraction of the estimated 8 million widows in Kenya. There is much work still to be done.

Hope A Life Orphans Projects

Serving widows is incomplete without caring for their fatherless children. Since a widow’s priority is her children, HALI’s outreach naturally extends to the orphans. Through our widow groups, we identify and recruit the most vulnerable orphans and take them to our partner ministry, Echoes of Mercy Mission. There, the children are housed, educated, and cared for in state-of-the-art institutions that provide accommodation, medical support, education, human formation, and other essential needs.

Hope A Life Fight Against Female Genital Mutilation

This initiative arises from a commitment to protect girls from the lifelong consequences of this harmful practice. We engage in community sensitization efforts to eliminate such traditions and promote respect for human dignity.

Hope A Life Against Early Child Marriages

In some cultures, daughters can be married as young as 13. Our organization raises awareness about this issue to prevent early marriages, thereby granting girls the opportunity to mature and make their own choices. We also provide rehabilitation for the victims, offering them a second chance at life.

Hope A Life Against Gender-Based Violence

Gender-based violence has risen to alarming levels in recent years. We are committed to condemning this violence by educating communities about equal rights, mutual respect, and dignity. Additionally, we assist victims through their healing process by providing counseling and support.

Hope A Life for Children with Disabilities

We believe that every child deserves equal opportunities, regardless of their physical status. Our organization prioritizes children with disabilities, sourcing the necessary aids to help them navigate daily challenges and striving to ensure they receive a quality education that empowers them to pursue equal opportunities.

Girl Mentorship

Many girls today feel isolated because they lack trusted relationships with those around them. With no safe space to share their struggles, they often confide in the wrong people who mislead them or turn to social media for answers that leave them empty. That’s why we must choose to be that trusted big sister, a safe voice of wisdom, love, and truth.

A Growing Mission

Our commitment to the plight of widows has opened our eyes to the wider challenges facing vulnerable people in our society. As we listened and learned, our areas of impact naturally expanded.

“Our commitment to the plight of the widows opened our eyes to other challenges facing the vulnerable people in our society. This, by necessity, compelled us to increase the programs of impact.” — Rev Dr. Fredrick M. Shitsukane, CEO HALI

Each initiative is tailored to nurture resilience, restore dignity, and create long-term opportunities. We invite you to partner with us, share our story, and help extend our reach to communities that need it most.
