About NHIK

Nesting for Hope International (Kenya)

NHIK is the brain child of a devoted woman who saw it in her heart and felt that African children in Kenya deserved hope and a life and she strove to do so.

Nesting for Hope International (NHIK) was founded in 2023 after its founder, Eunice, encountered vulnerable children in Kenya who lacked access to education, care, and basic necessities. She began welcoming them into school, providing meals, learning materials, hygiene products, and uniforms to remove the barriers that kept them away from classrooms.

Today, the organization continues its mission to support orphaned, underprivileged, and children with disabilities in the remote areas of Keiyo, Elgeyo Marakwet County. Many of these children remain underserved due to limited infrastructure, poverty, and the lack of specialized educational support.

NHIK is committed to creating a safe, inclusive, and nurturing environment while mobilizing resources to fund programs that empower these children to live dignified, hopeful, and fulfilling lives.

MISSION
To move children and youth from a life of desperation to a life full of hope through basic education, skills training and mentorship programs that will enable them to be successful in the future.
