Glares of Hope (started on the 15th of November 2013) is a non-profit making organization that was formed by a group of rays of hope in order to support their clubs (Ray of Hope clubs) that have the initiative of empowering other people and other communities. In pursuant to this objective, we came up with a decision to form an organization that will offer extensive human empowerment to the communi
ty and itself. Consequently, we adopted the name ‘Glares of Hope’ because our subsidiaries, Ray of Hope clubs, bring about tidings of a hope that is awakening. In short, Ray of Hope is a motivational club particularly for secondary school students which was started on the 13th of October 2012 with the objective of mentoring students into their life dreams. Its primary purpose is to give hope to all people in the community in which it is found. As a result of this objective, Ray of Hope club does not only provide empowerment to students, but also it provides a helping hand to orphanages as a way of empowering them to live their lives to the fullest. The most common and active of this group of clubs is Ray of Hope Marist Nyanga. The objectives and work of the Ray of Hope clubs described above gives a skeleton of the objectives of Glares of Hope. Glares of Hope seeks to provide assistance to everyone it can support. Since Ray of Hope general motive is to strengthen human capacity for its own productivity so as to benefit everybody and make the world a better place to be, our primary objective becomes to empower everybody in all the areas of life. This limits the general productivity of the human race but there are still some glares of hope that are telling us to keep on going on and fulfilling our God-given dreams. Glares of Hope targets to reduce the high levels of human poverty coupled with the deadly pandemic HIV/AIDS. Being born in a poor family or having HIV/AIDS does not mean that you are incapable of doing what you dream of. Unfortunately, it has become the norm. Generally, people with HIV/AIDS have a terrible belief that they are bound to poverty, incompetence and incapability. Poverty is highly cyclical. The poverty cycle has to be broken down in order to increase human productivity which is another aim of Glares of Hope. Conclusively, Glares of Hope wants to trip hope to the world. We believe that many candles have burned out and have to be lit again in order to have people living happy and free lives.
