Who We Are
Formerly Hopefill Foundation — established 20 September 2023, rebranded January 2026. Our vision: A future for every dream — because no dream should fade away without a chance.
Founder & Executive Director
Leadership
Allan Ndata Wangechi
Founder & Executive Director — Caritas of Hope Foundation
Allan Ndata Wangechi is the Founder and Executive Director of Caritas of Hope Foundation, formerly Hopefill Foundation. He established the organisation on 20 September 2023 as a focused mental health initiative, responding to a clear and urgent need within Kenyan communities for psychosocial support and improved access to care.
Through strategic expansion in 2025 and institutional rebranding in January 2026, Allan led the transformation from a single-sector mental health foundation into a structured, multi-sector development organisation committed to advancing health, education, humanitarian support, inclusivity, and environmental sustainability. His conviction that sustainable transformation requires a broader, integrated approach continues to guide the Foundation's 2026–2030 strategic framework.
"Because no dream should fade away without a chance. Our slogan is more than a statement — it is a call to action. It challenges us to create systems where opportunity is accessible, dignity is protected, and hope is sustained."

Deputy Executive Director
Judith Terer
Deputy Executive Director — Caritas of Hope Foundation
Judith Terer serves as Deputy Executive Director of Caritas of Hope Foundation during a transformative period in the organisation's institutional journey. From the Foundation's founding in 2023 to its strategic expansion and rebranding in 2026, Judith has been central to the evolution of the organisation into a structured, multi-sector institution committed to delivering measurable and sustainable community impact.
As Deputy Executive Director, her focus remains on strengthening institutional systems, enhancing operational coordination across thematic programmes, and ensuring that the Foundation's strategic objectives are translated into tangible outcomes. She champions discipline in governance, excellence in programme implementation, and accountability in resource management — continuously refining internal structures and strengthening partnerships to ensure every initiative reflects professionalism and integrity.
Judith places community participation at the centre of the Foundation's approach. She believes transformation is most effective when local voices are engaged in planning, implementation, and evaluation — fostering inclusive platforms and equitable representation to strengthen long-term resilience within the communities the Foundation serves.
"Together, we continue building a future where no dream fades without a chance. Consolidating institutional maturity, scaling responsibly, and deepening measurable impact while safeguarding the dignity and aspirations of those we serve — that is our commitment."

Our Five Thematic Pillars
Five interconnected programme areas — each addressing a critical dimension of community wellbeing.
🏥Health
Pillar One
Health & Community Wellness
Access to quality healthcare remains one of the most critical barriers to human development in Kenya's informal settlements. Our Health pillar bridges the gap through outreach, education, clinic partnerships, and targeted maternal and child health programmes.
We believe health is a human right, not a privilege. Our programmes reach the most vulnerable — women, children, elderly, and persons with chronic illness — where formal health infrastructure is weakest.

Pilot Programme Launch: Healthy Schools. Bright Futures. — Riruta Satellite Mixed Secondary School
📅 March 2026📍 Riruta Satellite Mixed Secondary School, Nairobi👤 Led by Allan Ndata Wangechi, Executive Director🤝 In partnership with The Kiseko Initiative
We successfully launched our Pilot Programme for Healthy Schools. Bright Futures. at Riruta Satellite Mixed Secondary School, led by our Executive Director, Allan Ndata Wangechi. This milestone marks the Foundation's first ground-level school health and hygiene intervention — bringing our Health and Education pillars to life in a Nairobi community setting.
During the school visit, our team had the opportunity to engage directly with 100 students, sharing important knowledge on hygiene, health, and personal care. The sessions were designed to be interactive, age-appropriate, and grounded in the realities of students in Nairobi's informal settlements.
Alongside the hygiene education sessions, dignity packs were distributed to support both boys and girls in maintaining proper hygiene and confidence in their daily school life — recognising that access to basic hygiene products is inseparable from access to education.
"Through this initiative, we aim to empower students with the knowledge and resources they need to lead healthier lives and stay focused on their education."
— Allan Ndata Wangechi, Founder & Executive Director
We are deeply grateful for the partnership with The Kiseko Initiative, whose support helped make this impactful launch possible. Together, we are promoting student health, raising awareness, and building brighter futures for the next generation.
This pilot is the foundation for a broader school health programme that Caritas of Hope Foundation intends to scale across multiple schools in Nairobi — reaching more students, distributing more dignity packs, and deepening health literacy where it is needed most. 🍃
