Why do we focus our efforts on Mathare Valley?
Poverty stretches across the entire Mathare slums, affecting almost everyone in this area. Its effects reach deeper. Uniquely connected to different causes, the effects of poverty are revolving—one result leads to another source, which leads to another consequence.
The Results Are Transformational

Stories of hope
What Our Program Participants are saying
At Light and Hope Initiative, we are continually humbled by the generosity of our supporters, the dedication of our partners, and the openness of policymakers who strive to create a more just and compassionate world. What inspires us most is the resilience, courage, and God-given potential of the children, women, and youth we serve. Their stories of transformation fuel our mission—and these testimonials reflect the real impact of hope in action.
“Before joining Inua Mama, I didn’t have any formal skills or
a stable source of income. After completing the training, I
was able to secure a job at an EPZ company. This opportunity
has changed my life—I can now support my children and
contribute meaningfully at home. I’m so grateful for this
program.”

I used to depend on my husband for everything, but now I
contribute to our household. I’ve even helped a friend join the
program. We are not just learning to sew—we are learning
to stand on our own two feet.”
