Who we are
Founded by women.
Built for everyone.
Fardosa Osman
Executive Director & Founder
Fardosa founded Fountain of Hope in 2017 to give the women of Garissa County a platform to advocate for health, education and community resilience. Under her leadership, FOH has grown into a multi-pillar organisation engaging women, men, youth and persons with disability.
Fountain of Hope (FOH) was established and registered with the Garissa County Social Development Office (Reg. No. GSA//HC/G/CD/2B/034), founded in response to the persistent neglect of pastoralist and ASAL communities in Kenya's development landscape.
"A country where communities are empowered and advancing towards meeting their basic needs."
