East Africa Children's Hope (EACH)

East Africa Children's Hope (EACH) EACH benefits local East African organizations that aim to help orphaned children grow, learn and succeed.

Currently, beneficiaries of EACH include the Upendo Children's Home in Kenya and the Good Hope Initiative in Uganda. East Africa Children's Hope has been a work in progress since 2006 when EACH Founder and President Melanie Pessin shipped off to Africa. Melanie discovered Upendo when she volunteered there that summer and Good Hope when she was working in Uganda in 2009. Melanie found the teachers

and caretakers to be compassionate and the children were grateful not only for her time, but the education and love they received. Recognizing that both organizations desperately need funds to create facilities to help the children they support succeed and thrive as they move into adulthood, Melanie decided to found EACH.
