OUR STORY
Welcome to Hope Horizon Foundation! Our mission is inspired by the compassion and generosity of my parents, who, despite their own challenges as immigrants from the Democratic Republic of Congo, dedicated their lives to supporting both our family and underserved communities. We believe that the world thrives when everyone is empowered and uplifted. Join us as we work towards holistic transformation for those in need, channeling our efforts to make a meaningful impact both here in the U.S. and abroad.

WHY SHOULD YOU SUPPORT OUR FOUNDATION?
Giving a lifeline rather than a care package
Keeping orphans and vulnerable children healthy and educated has been a real challenge for the country. According to Unicef statistics, orphans represent 15 percent of the 80 million people that the legacy NGO has not been able to provide the needed resources to all of these children. At HOPE HORIZON FOUNDATION we’re committed to building a society where every young person can easily realize their potential and achieve their goals. We believe that providing children a nurturing environment is essential to their overall development. Today’s youth are tomorrow’s leaders, and through personalized attention and guidance we are essentially providing them with all the resources they need to thrive as leaders in years to come.
