News

Healthcare outreach

Expanding Healthcare and Wellness Services

Rays of Hope Community has rolled out new healthcare and wellness programs that directly support the elderly, people living with chronic illnesses, persons abled differently, adolescent girls, and youth recovering from substance abuse. These services go beyond treatment—they include awareness campaigns, nutrition guidance, mental health support, and safe spaces for recovery. Through mobile clinics and community health workshops, families in marginalized areas now have better access to care, dignity and hope.

Students learning

Education Rescue Mission Gains Momentum

Over 240 children and adults are enrolled in our Education Rescue Mission, a program designed to provide second chances to learners who have been left behind. By applying the Teaching at the Right Level (TaRL) approach, we assess learners based on ability rather than age, helping them master literacy and numeracy step by step. This method has transformed classrooms into inclusive learning spaces where time takers catch up, dropouts re-enter the system, and adults find renewed confidence to pursue their dreams of education.

Eco-Ethics Tour

Promoting Environmental Awareness and Cultural Heritage

The annual Eco-Ethics Tour brought together students, youth groups, and community leaders for an interactive journey through Mombasa’s natural and cultural heritage. Participants planted mangroves, visited heritage sites, and engaged in dialogues about climate change, conservation, and sustainable living. By combining environmental education with cultural pride, Rays of Hope is raising a new generation of custodians who understand that protecting nature is part of protecting our identity and future.

Red Ribbon Initiative

HIV awareness campaign

Standing Together Against HIV & Stigma

Our Red Ribbon Initiative has reached over 1,500 people in Mombasa through community forums, awareness walks, and confidential testing services. The campaign is not just about preventing HIV—it’s about breaking stigma. Testimonies from survivors and advocates inspire others to seek help and stand proud. Rays of Hope has also partnered with local clinics to ensure that those diagnosed receive timely treatment and ongoing counseling, proving that health and dignity can go hand in hand.

Women and youth mentorship session

Empowering Women & Youth Through Training and Mentorship

Through structured training and mentorship sessions, Rays of Hope equips women and young people with life skills, entrepreneurship training, and leadership development. Many participants have started small businesses, gained employment, and even become mentors themselves. The ripple effect is powerful—families gain stability, children remain in school, and communities become safer and more resilient. These programs remind us that when women and youth are empowered, the whole society rises.
