Flow of Hope

John Njane is a one man charitable organization-a dynamo with an electric smile and huge heart. He is tall, lean, handsome with a wicked smile and sense of humor. He and several siblings had to leave home when he was 14 after his father was disabled—his father could no longer work and there wasn’t enough money to support the entire family. He lucked out and didn’t end up on the street but all formal education stopped.

Eventually, John ended up working in Kijabe and met a Missionary couple who supported him through Mechanics school. He may have stopped sitting at a school desk but this young man is scary smart. His English is impeccable; his knowledge about computers, mechanics, farming, construction and human nature is boundless.

He has two children a 9 year old, disabled daughter and a 4 year old daughter, and has opened his home to 8 street boys from Mai Mahiu. He has decided his life is blessed and that his role should be to give back to his people.

He has managed “Flow of Hope”, a nondenominational, one-man charity which he started in 2004. It has taken Nations years to discover that the best “loans” are on a small business level. John provides training and education opportunities for his fellow Kenyans to better their lives and afford each family a stable breadwinner.
