Our Journey of Empowermen
HBI's Journey of Empowerment...
For over a decade, HBI has been at the forefront of youth empowerment. Through strategic partnerships with corporate organizations like Gulf African Bank, HBI facilitated sponsorship of several young people through secondary school and university from 2013.
The organization also established a monthly pack program to provide essential items like sanitary towels, innerwear, and toiletries to ensure the dignity and well-being of school-going youth and to contribute to improvement of educational outcomes.
Additionally, HBI begun equipping youth with life skills, career mentorship, entrepreneurship skills, access to finance and financial literacy skills to empower them to engage in income-generating activities so as to become self-reliant.
Through these efforts, the organization has made great strides and achieved a significant impact on the lives of youth in Kenya.

“Thank you for the help you have given my siblings and I over the years and the sanitary towels. They have helped me to live in dignity as a girl. You are like a mother to me.”
(Aurelia to Mary)
"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 beneffiting exposure to skills and to servant hood for humanity in many ways."
"We sincerely thank Gulf Bank and HBI for the support you have given to these vulnerable pupils: Mohammed, Galma, Gregory, Catherine and Oberi who were almost dropping out of school but due to your support, they were able to join various High schools." (2014)
