About Us
Helping Our Poor Environment (HOPE) was founded following a pivotal moment in the life of Executive Director and Founder, Chinka W. Kpue. On November 25, 2024, after being denied a U.S. F-1 student visa, Chinka received a call from his adopted father, Steven J. Fick, who asked him a simple but profound question: “What are the needs of the people in your community?” Inspired by this conversation and driven by a deep desire to create lasting change, Chinka transformed his disappointment into determination. That day marked the beginning of HOPE—a legally established institution dedicated to addressing the pressing needs of underserved communities.
