A BEACON OF HOPE AMIDST ALL ODDS
Welcome to Friends of Hope
In the heart of Nairobi’s Dandora, Friends of Hope Community-Based Organization is transforming lives one child at a time. Founded in 2010 by Anna and Martha—two women who turned their own struggles into a mission of empowerment—we provide a safe haven where vulnerable children can discover their talents, build confidence, and dream beyond their circumstances. Through music, dance, sports, arts, and entrepreneurship, we’re proving that hope is more than a word—it’s an action.

At Friends of HOPE, our mission is to empower vulnerable children in Dandora through talent nurturing and life skills training. We believe that every child deserves the opportunity to discover their potential, build confidence, and create a brighter future.
Through music, dance, sports, arts, and entrepreneurship, we provide a safe space for growth, creativity, and self-reliance, fostering a community where dreams are nurtured and possibilities are endless.
Our Programs
Changing Lives Through Talent
We believe every child has potential waiting to be unlocked. Our programs provide the tools and opportunities for transformation:
A space to heal, express and grow. From drumming and dance, children find their voices and confidence.
Football, Volleyball, athletics, and painting give children purpose and a chance to shine.
Beadwork and handicraft teach skills and nurture financial independence. Discover the stories behind the beads; creativity, innovation and economic empowerment.
We provide warm porridge and bread to vulnerable children in our community, ensuring they receive essential nutrition to thrive. Learn how you can help us feed hope.
