Foundations for Hope was created in response to a clear need and a calling from God. After years of work-related travel across hundreds of nations, the founders, Matt and Randy, felt called to serve God in a meaningful and impactful way. Their background in engineering, construction, and international project management allows them to work efficiently on the ground, but they give all credit to God. They carefully consider every opportunity to ensure resources are used wisely and effectively. They are grateful to every donor and seek the ongoing prayer support of the community connected to the organization. What began as well building has grown into a broader mission: advancing the Gospel through the local church in East Africa.
