Who We Are
St. Joseph House of Hope Foundation
A Christian foundation in Kilifi, Kenya, dedicated to raising children and youth through quality education, skills training, and community support.
St. Joseph House of Hope Foundation began as a simple nursery school with a big dream: to create a safe, nurturing space for children from vulnerable families along the coast of Kenya. Over the years, that dream has grown into a multi-campus work of grace—spanning nursery, primary, high school, and vocational training centers.
We are rooted in Kilifi, led by local leaders, and driven by a vision to see every child discover their identity, dignity, and purpose in God. Our work is holistic: we care for minds, hands, and hearts.
Through partnership with churches, friends, and organizations around the world, we are building practical, sustainable pathways for children and youth to break cycles of poverty and step into a brighter future.

Our Impact
Hope in Action in Kilifi
Behind every number is a child, a story, and a testimony of what God is doing through simple obedience and partnership.
For more than a decade, St. Joseph House of Hope Foundation has been planting seeds of hope along the coast of Kenya. Many of our former pupils are now young adults—working, studying, and serving in their communities.
Our dream is to deepen and expand this impact: strengthening our existing campuses, improving infrastructure, and creating more opportunities for teenage mothers, out-of-school youth, and families on the margins.
