Who We Are...
Hope Beyond Initiative (HBI) is a Public Benefit Organization founded and registered in 2011 to empower vulnerable youth in Kenya. The organization operates in low-income areas of Nairobi, Bungoma, and Kakamega, with its headquarters located in Nairobi, Kenya. We target vulnerable teenage girls and other youth in and out of schools, with our programs in Education Empowerment, Economic Empowerment, Good Governance, and Sports, coupled with Environmental Conservation as a cross-cutting theme in our programming.
"We sincerely thank HBI and Gulf African Bank for the support you have given these vulnerable pupils: Mohammed, Galma, Gregory, and Catherine, who were almost dropping out of school, but due to your support, they were able to join various High Schools."
"Thanks to the support of Hope Beyond Initiative and Gulf African Bank, I received a scholarship in 2014 that enabled me to pursue my education in secondary school. I excelled in my studies there, joined the University, and I am now a graduate." (Nov-Dec. 2024)
"This is to humbly acknowledge that I am a beneficiary of Hope Beyond Initiative and Gulf African Bank and to affirm that the organizations have given me wings to fly not only in my career, personal life, and family but also in benefiting from exposure to skills and to servanthood for humanity in many ways."
