Doors of Hope

Doors of Hope was founded in 2016 by Edward Kwanusu in Kitale, Kenya, when he began feeding and helping vulnerable boys living on the streets.

With additional support from donors in the United States, Mr. Kwanusu continued his monthly street feeding program and began providing clothing, opportunities to take baths, and lessons about God’s love to the boys.

“When you hear about this ministry – Doors of Hope – its name is as it sounds because it opens a new beginning and hope to any person that comes in,” Mr. Kwanusu said. “It is fun and good to serve humanity.”

Unfortunately, the challenges of Covid 19 hit the ministry with many difficulties. The country imposed stay-at-home orders and a strict curfew. Police were deployed to enforce the curfew and many of the street boys were beaten up. Two of the boys died because of their injuries suffered in police beatings.

Feelings of devastation about the boys’ suffering on the streets quickly turned to hope when Education Equals Hope helped Door of Hope open a safe home for these street boys. “Education Equals Hope responded and acted so fast by helping us acquire a safe home and food for the affected boys. We were able to rescue nine boys from the streets who are now comfortably attending school and are happy.” said Mr. Kwanusu.

Your donations help to provide clothing, education, food, medication, and rent for this new home. Doors of Hope is now a family made up of street boys, one girl and a baby boy abandoned at only two months of age.
