The Brilliant Minded Women Foundation has awarded ImpactHope as the Charity of the Year 2022 for our work in Kenya and our passion for helping and empowering communities to break the cycle of poverty. To be named Charity of the Year is a testament to that hard work and the successes achieved by our staff, volunteers, supporters, and partners worldwide.
The Partnership
As of 2022, the Brilliant Minded Women Foundation has focused on ImpactHope’s high school female scholarship and mentorship program through its KEDHAP program. This program has already had a major impact on the lives of girls for which, one of whom was an awardee at this year’s Gala for Student of the Year! Evelyn is a bright student with big dreams of working in Public Relations.
Together, we hope to fundraise $50,000 for the KEDHAP scholarship program and sanitary pads distribution efforts to help keep girls in school. As the partnership grows, the BMWF intends to expand the focus of the impact on ImpactHope’s other programs addressing issues of gender empowerment, education, healthcare, vulnerable children and people, food security, leadership, and access to clean water.
