Our Founders

Our story began in October 2014 when we attended the World Business Forum in New York City. We heard business leaders talk about how business acumen can be used as a force for change to solve some of the world’s most challenging problems. We decided we were going to create a Giving Brand….Eureka!! We found it!! We had to come up with the plan.

We had always wanted to create meaningful change in our world. Years before that life changing event, we had talked about how we could make a difference by creating more vibrant and prosperous communities. Professionally, we both had a desire to make a positive impact. A few years down the line we started a family and with three children in tow, we became even more motivated to focus on making a difference and raising compassionate, engaged children in the process. Our resolve to act was strengthened. We strongly believed that education, among other interventions can break the cycle of poverty for generations.

Our love for education and our firm belief that it is tool for social change led to the creation of Expand Hope Foundation which was incorporated in 2016. The mission for Expand Hope is to bring together individuals and businesses who are passionate about creating social impact. We have built a network of local and international partners who are working together to connect our personal and professional communities with those in developing countries, to build schools where there are none. We know we are not alone in our desire to create a promising future for our children and the children who are less fortunate than ourselves. This platform is for all of us to come together and lift whole communities out of poverty.

You too can get involved in building schools in developing countries and bring good quality education to children who currently don’t have access. The journey has begun and new students are already learning in an Expand Hope school right now! You, your family, your friends and your community can be a part of this exciting and humbling adventure.
