Hope Inc., founded in Hanford, California, in 2001 by Johnny and Darlene Johnson, emerged from the couple’s dedication as school teachers in Kings County. Recognizing the need to assist an orphanage in Eldoret, Kenya, they established Helping Other People Everywhere Inc. Since its inception, Johnny and Darlene have been committed to supporting various charities both in Kings County and in Kenya, reflecting their deep commitment to helping those in need. The Johnsons are directly responsible for educating thousands of students in Nakuru Kenya over the past two decades.
In 2019, Dr. Rushi Panchal and Todd Cotta joined Hope Inc. to establish a dental clinic at a high school in Nakuru County. Since the inception of the clinic, the program has expanded to include both medical and dental exams. As a result, over 1,200 students in Nakuru County have been treated by our teams since 2019, significantly improving access to essential healthcare services in the region.
