Hope and Courage International – Giving Hope and Encouragement to many

Hope & Courage International (HCI)

Hope & Courage International (HCI) is a survivor-led, Kenya-based Non-Governmental organization dedicated to supporting Children, Adolescents and Young Adults (AYA) affected by childhood cancers. We exist to ensure that no young person walks the cancer journey — or life after cancer — alone.

Founded from lived experience, HCI bridges the gap between diagnosis, treatment, survivorship, and healing by providing psychosocial support, mentorship, advocacy, and safe spaces for growth, dignity, and hope.

Our Focus: AYA & Childhood Cancer Survivorship

Medical treatment is only the beginning. Many childhood cancer survivors and AYAs face long-term challenges such as emotional trauma, isolation, late effects of treatment, disrupted education, identity struggles, and limited access to age-appropriate support.

At Hope & Courage International, we focus on:

Adolescents (13–18 years)
Young Adults (18–25 years)
Childhood cancer survivors transitioning into adolescence and adulthood

Our work centers on survivorship care, mental wellness, peer connection, and empowering young people to rebuild their lives with confidence and purpose.
