Video summary

The video features an inspiring conversation with Belita Mutheu, the CEO of the Hopegivers Foundation, who shares her personal journey from high school to becoming a dedicated leader in charity work. Her mission was sparked by observing her mother's difficult life in a ghetto environment, which instilled in her a deep desire to help street children and families regain their dignity. Belita explains that the foundation's primary goal is to move people off the streets and ensure they have access to decent lives, emphasizing that every individual has a fundamental right to a beautiful existence. Her approach is rooted in the belief that even small contributions can make a massive difference, as providing a single meal or item of clothing can sustain someone until tomorrow, effectively planting a seed of hope in their hearts. A significant portion of the discussion highlights the emotional rewards and challenges of this charitable work, particularly regarding the psychology of giving and receiving help. Belita recounts touching stories, such as reuniting families through social media videos, where she helped a child reconnect with a mother who had given up on them. She addresses the common struggle many people face in accepting assistance due to pride or fear, noting that true blessings often come from acknowledging one's need for support. Furthermore, she tackles the issue of hypocrisy in charity, criticizing those who pretend to help while actually seeking personal gain or political advantage, and instead advocates for a purpose-driven mindset where actions are guided by a genuine calling rather than external rewards. The dialogue also extends to broader societal issues, including child labor, the neglect of children by their own parents, and the role of government in protecting vulnerable youth. Belita passionately argues that mistreating orphans is akin to attacking God, as He is considered the father of orphans, and warns against bringing children into homes where they cannot be properly cared for, which she views as inviting a curse upon the family. She encourages parents and community members to take responsibility for their children rather than abandoning them, reminding viewers that fighting against such injustice is a spiritual battle where God supports those who stand up for the weak. Ultimately, the conversation serves as a call to action for everyone to challenge their own mindsets, recognizing that millions of lives can be transformed if individuals simply decide to give what they can, no matter how little it may seem.

Good morning and welcome back. Yes, my name is Eliza Kimmani, the TV host of the yearinda and it is our win and it's always exciting to remember that it's exactly 13 minutes past 8 in the karibu sana. This is why in the morning here on Y254 channel and right now we are on the empowerment cafe. Yes. And we're speaking about something that I love so much. Yeah. And um definitely it's something I love. You are going to love it because it's going to be a very interesting and amazing discussion. I am here with Belita Mudil and she is the CEO of the um Hopegivers Foundation. It's a foundation that comes together and um she is helping uh the street children. And she says that the goal is to reduce the street families. Yes. To make sure at least uh she's able to get people out of the streets, help them to have decent lives because all of us have a right and all of us have um the right to have a beautiful and amazing life. Yes. So that we're going to be having that discussion today. You're going to love it because you want to hear of how the amazing stories of how she gets to change the lives of people. and we are going to love this. Good morning. >> Good morning, Liz. How are you? >> I am very fine. Say hello to my amazing people. >> So, hello people. So, today I'm with you here in Y254 get locked about life challenges about the the hope givers. >> Amazing. Um, from the name Hope Givers, it just shows that you really want to give people hope and that shows people have given up. People are hopeless, but now you're here to give them hope. Why did you come up with Hope Givers? First, you can tell us when you started this amazing organization and the dream behind uh Hopegivers. >> Uh, so hope started 2023. So after >> that's in campus high school. >> High school. Oh, okay. >> My mom by the way she used to live in ghetto. >> So like I'm like I should be able to like but now my mom I was like, but I'm the only child. I was like, okay, maybe like I should follow this direction. I should share whatever you have. Wow. That's why I decided to start. >> Yeah. >> And it's amazing when you say that um it's from you observing the kind of life that your mom was living and the people that were surrounding her, that's where the dream was uh built because most of the times uh unless you have experienced something, you are not able to really understand what those people are going through. But the fact that you could watch, you could observe, you could see and it made you have the heart and desire to help these people and that's why here we are. So maybe you can tell us um where is your focus organization in a focus onto probably and maybe they open an orphanage a home where they take those kids. But now for you from uh your tagline you're helping uh people off the streets. So maybe you can tell us a little bit about your focus on the street kids. >> Okay. my focus. But 500 today, I rather 200. So it doesn't matter whe at least your health but at least Wow. You know when you explain that [snorts] it's it's it's a good thing because most of the people but from listening to what you're saying. You use as little as you have. Share the little amount you have with someone else. You're giving a smile. You're putting a smile on that person's face. And that's amazing and beautiful cuz it's it's it's actually Uh great that money or a big you know with your heart the fact that like you're saying most of the times those people don't even eat for a while for a long period of time but now uh the fact that you get them something on that day you've survive until tomorrow. Maybe you can tell us a story of someone that like some of the people you've encountered cuz to some people it's new or the experience but yeah maybe you can tell us the joy of you helping someone and some of the experiences that you've had with these people as you give them the food. [clears throat] First there's a video I posted then obvious something if I can help for real. So I was like, "Okay, I know that sister, brother. [gasps] Then we decided, do you know He doesn't even remember. I was like, "Oh my god." Yeah. even behind the camera. Then there was WhatsApp because yes for me And I was happy like I was happy for that family for real. For real. Wow. Yeah. Yeah. >> That's amazing. Especially when you're saying how the mom feels, you know, mothers always haveden for the family and the kids. And when you see her so excited and they can travel from wherever to come and picks and care about this child and the fact that reunion out of a video you just posted and you didn't know that it was a door you are opening for this child to get reconciled again with the family and the family to get peace that's a very far place. Yeah. And that's crazy. And the fact that they are small kids. So um that's that's a beautiful story. And um have you ever found probably they don't want to accept your help? [laughter] By the way, in their mind it's a matter of time of everything. So accept help. That's all amazing. And like you're saying that is the reality. Most of the people, I don't know why, but most people struggle with accepting help. And it's crazy when you you you don't have you're struggling and you don't want help like because you you're there feeling like and everything, but at the end of the day, you're in that situation. And for you to get out, you have to be to to to to have someone that is holding your hand to help you. So when you find someone that's giving you something to eat like she's saying for example if you don't feel like you can eat it give it to somebody else. Yes. Because at the end of the day and yes blessings are there and blessing. Okay. Yes. Blessings are there and you're going to be blessed but you have to agree and accept that you need help at that point. probably you can tell because most of the times um people and all that and many people don't want to listen to such kinds of people they don't talk to them they just shove them away so what what would you tell people to do in such kind of a situation [clears throat] okay do not painal. It's something natural. try to convince one two And I'm very sure that [snorts] I say let me just go. I work in so let me just go. Okay. account breakrough. >> The fact that you give >> the fact that you give that's allure 100%. >> Wow. >> So the hand that gives is the hand that receives receives. >> Amazing. You know most people feel like You don't want to give you are being a good steward but like you're saying release give people if you can help someone help them. If you can't sour it's honest you can't but if you know you can help someone just go ahead and help them. If you know you can do something go ahead and do it. Like she's saying you're going to be blessed. And I am I am excited to see how you're excited when you think and you're speaking about the fact that you give. still like it's not bringing making you feel sad that you gave. it's actually bringing joy to you and you're excited to to to know that um you give and you still keep giving and even the fact that you're saying it's it doesn't matter how much you have cuz that's the mentality most Kenyans have and they feel like they are not enough like but like you're saying >> the little you have go ahead and help somebody go ahead and you you go ahead and give it to them. Maybe you can tell us um because at times where the fact that you're now give helping people everywhere you go, you might not remember everyone unless every day you might not be able to remember every single person that you helped. So has have you ever met someone probably you helped them at some point and they try to remind you you helped me at some or something like that. Have you ever encountered that >> when sometimes um to mostly they know the moment I arrive they can even follow me. So maybe they can't remember my name but yeah >> amazing because like you said you know the thing is if I am in need and then someone comes and gives it to me someone comes and helps me I will always remember just for the sake of for the sake of but for me I always remember that and I always have hold it in my heart. So like you're saying most of the times you might not even know them. They might not even know your name but you planted a seed. You helped someone. Imagine, you know, at times you you think about it. Someone was very hungry, had a cooler the whole day, and now you've gone to them with a package of milk and bread and you've helped this person by the time that's enough food and um it's it's helpful for them. So, ever ever here they are and they doing like and you've helped that person. So it's it's not a wonder to Kiona you are the next millionaire in Nairobi because of like you're saying blessings come with that and the fact that you don't you're not considering how much you have or how much you are going to get out of it cuz you're not getting anything from these people. These are people who cannot even help themselves let alone help you but you're still focused on doing this. You're still giving off. You're still doing this and it's beautiful and it's amazing. Now there are some people I remember of a very it's a very sad story in school a lady organization and she was asking people for help and then they collect money and then they go to visit kids in children's homes but then uh there's that accountability part where we give receipts of how much money we used and what we did and all that but now for her she was not faithful and people discovered that she had a campaign. She was running for president in school as well. So campaign. So what would you say about such kinds of people who are hiding under the mask of helping people but in reality all they want to do is get money from people and um use it for their own benefits. >> Okay. uh first uh you know helping. So personally so me but I even don't want your money because I know my purpose is what I don't think right now it doesn't at all but I do it because that is my let me just speak to God. I want to know my purpose in this world because that is your purpose. That's why you are there. So that is your purpose. So my life and I was like okay God when I was primary school there's something about leadership in me so I decided >> so up to class 8 I joined the form one then form one the the the school the school the school captain. So the class I want this girl to be form up to form captain of the school. So after form four I was like youth conferences then someone point you and say say a point. So I was like, uh-uh, there's something going on in my life. >> So I decided, let me just do brah. I remember I was employed in it was amazing because I didn't know even to do all these things. But funny enough with two weeks and make good salary. I'm like okay let me do this and this and this and thank God posting one of my videos. So what I'm going to say is what the moment you don't need anybody to help you do your purpose. You are supposed to do this. Let me be do this blah blah blah help there and there then everything flows. >> Wow. >> You know it's amazing. It's your purpose because you'll help people or something like people are not always as thankful or grateful as you would expect. So if you're not driven by purpose, if it's not something that is coming from your heart, you're going to get tired. Mimi, you know, after everything I have done, you're still reacting to like evil. So like you're saying it is it needs God God to plant this on on you, God to give this to you and then you are able to uh do it cuz cuz you know you're not doing it for anyone. And I love your heart. The fact that you're saying you're not sitting down there waiting for anyone to come and help you. It I'm calling people. I need you to help me do this or that. It is good. Help is welcome. I'll be giving you her details as we get to wind up so that you can channel your help towards her. But she's not waiting for you to help her. Whether you are going to send the money or not, she is still doing uh what she ought to do. She's still helping these people with the little she can be able to do. Imagine millions of money. How many kinds of lives can be transformed? You know, how many people can be changed? how many people can be happy and excited because I am very sure that um but if you have the best structure and help that you would need you would help people to even now get them off the streets because some some of these kids you can find them at children's homes or uh get them their families and all that and reconciling uh people to their families but it all needs resources. You need a lot of money to be able to do that. But that's why you're here. Yes. And um this is an opportunity for everyone that 40 more than enough. So those 50 bobs, those 100 bobs that you feel like they are so little for you to help someone. She does help people with a little as little amount of money as she gets. So we I'm going to be giving you her details as we get to wind up wind up. Okay? So stay with us so that we can be able to channel our help to towards her so that she can be able to continue to help these kids and this is this is amazing. Uh we are on all social media platforms. Yes. Facebook let's talk matters of charity helping them because these are some of the things that people get. Yes. a reaction you get and you're like, "What? What have you just said?" And I see my guest laughing. Maybe you have an experience with that. >> Okay. For real. But now then you just pick let me give a friend obvious last last year that because it's it's something in a good way. So I decided let me just focus. But now [snorts] uh I went to to heaven's gate to pray. I I went for seven days to fast and pray. But the mentality now came. >> I'm like you should do this. You should do this. These are to do do I decided let me just open it again because I have no option. So hope for real for real because sometimes So, but now that's where that's for probably a question and you I don't know if you really know but let me just ask you. uh these guys that are always on the streets begging with cups and all that because they most of the times our coins and all that do you think that sustains them the kind of money they get to collect on the streets do you think it sustains them at times you find it's a mom with kids probably do you think that sustains their lifestyle >> according to me uh I think It's a something rather than >> Yeah. Okay. We are changing mindsets here guys. Okay. Yes. um she's helping us and me as well changing mindset because there's a way you think but if you're saying everyone at the end of the day now something else should we consider who we are helping like all that should we help people should we have all those things in mind as we are helping people should we just help someone with their cup and they need help and you should not care what they do with the money or how they are for example I know how to identify Mhm. She's like, "Where are you? Where are you? I will identify reason behind it. which is not fair. It's not even fair issues. So, rather than you say is equal. Yes. home. So I'm like, Because the moment seriously children's He is the provider. So you should wow Those kids that come selling biscuits, selling sweets, what comes into my mind is this is child labor. Why is this child selling or something? So what do you think about parents? Because why is our government not not even concerned? So government should help us too. Our president should help us. Yeah. Amazing. I am telling you this discussion is beautiful and amazing because at the end of the day these are this is a reality of what is happening on the streets. This is a reality of what is going on. And it's it's it's sad that all these people are on the streets, but at the end of the day, like she's saying, But really I am struggling and you know I always love saying at least I will come and buy the sweets from you because I can see trying to do something. Okay. I thought you needed me to help you. Why are you being rude? because I am not helping you and it's it's very very sad but yes we are talking about charity and our question Facebook let's talk matters of charity yes we want to know if you have helped them because like she's telling us you know, all those kinds of things and you you you're left there wondering like are you even serious? Do you even are you even listening to yourself? But yes, because at times they don't they they don't know. they've not learned at all. So, you're not even supposed to be there judging them and thinking at after I have helped you, you're talking to me like that. Like, that should not be your focus at all. I appreciate no matter how little it is. You know, now you're there getting hurt and getting angry and saying I will never help again. But it trickles down again to the heart behind it because if you don't have a call, if it is not your calling, if you you don't have a heart for people, hey, you will get tired. >> Yeah. And it's it's it's sad, but it's amazing that you're doing this. And the fact that you're doing it yourself like you're doing it because you know God has called you to it and every time God blesses you every time God is giving you help that no matter how little it is and what you need or what you're expecting or what you're waiting for in this life because me I've been so much challenged by all that because I I have always had the mindset of you know but thinking about what you're saying at times we should even challenge ourselves have have it every day you've helped someone that you don't know a stranger those things are crazy yeah you've helped someone let's challenge and the moment you do that. Imagine if everyone was helping somebody somewhere in this country. >> Like if we had someone like you in every county, in every area, in every village, like we would be so far because you like group of 10 of them. And they bless you and they speak and you've helped like you know when you think about it you don't need millions of money to actually change a life. >> Yeah. >> Wow. Me I am loving loving loving this conversation. And now if I don't ask you this questionire the director is asking >> [laughter] >> Are you listening? Yeah. [laughter] Tell us how if someone has some things she would he or she would want to channel and also you can tell us on where your videos are videos you can tell us if anyone wants to watch some of the videos that you've done helping these people where those videos are posted and also maybe give us a contact where someone can channel help if they would like to also give their help. >> Yeah. So in my Tik Tok account, hopegivers, I'm also a fashionistic in Roses collection. But for the charity search hopegivers, YouTube, Instagram, Tik Tok, Facebook, Hopegivers then Amazing. [laughter] So yeah, you can tell people speak to people about um giving cuz like you've said they are not really like it's not in them to give but we are encouraging that people should give. So maybe you can uh encourage someone or speak to someone about that and the importance of helping someone else's life. I've told you help and we don't force people to give. just go with it. That's all. >> And now what about for people who they know they can they called like you to give but challenges when I give up and they feel like hey man I think I cannot do this anymore. So now talk to such kind of a person. They know that is their calling and they know if they are not doing it, they are not in purpose. They are not doing what God wants them to do. Yes. uh here because [laughter] [gasps] anyway I need direction of my purpose and then that's Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Amazing. >> And like you say, God God knows everything. God is in control of everything. So, um, as long as you let you leave it to him, as long as you direct it to him at the end of the day. Yeah. So, I have some of the comments here. Let me get to read them. Let's talk matters of charity. helping them. So I see good morning 047 represented. Thank God. Amazing. JLo Nation, good morning. Good morning to you too. Virginia, good morning. Good morning to you too Abu Jes. Okay, thank you Abu and I see Junior. Good morning. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you so much. So I want to give you an opportunity um to advise people, speak to someone, anyone that is watching, whatever you feel that uh is in your heart that you would really want to tell them, this is your chance um to advise them. You never know who's listening or who's watching it changed my forever and ever. So yes, go ahead. >> Okay. Me to me is to parents Maybe she died or something happened to her. Then then the father is not even concerned. The moment behind it, come on. Come on. family any issue you guys you go you discuss our community will be far >> wow amazing um like you're saying it's true most of the time it's the mom the stepmom and they feel like they can't continue staying there and they feel like they they don't want to to be there anymore so that's why they're running from home and men Since when did someone else become more important than your own blood, than your own children? Cuz now the fact that they they are not kids anymore and they don't matter anymore and that's how you've shown this woman. Like that's crazy. That's your blood. Those are your children. How do you sleep at night knowing that all and you're not even bothered? Like that's crazy, you know, when you even think about it. like she has said, please make sure that um you take care of your children, but you're still living together as a family. And the Bible says the Bible says that lend to God and God is the father of orphans. So the the fact that the fact that mistreat orphans it shows that you it's like you're attacking God. You're fighting with God directly and it is God who fights their battles. So are you ready to actually God? Are you sure you you're in for that fight? Are you sure you want to really go ahead? You know because at the end of the day I am very sure when you start fighting with God you're not going to win. Like that's the reality. God God is above. God is the one that's going to win. So are you ready for that? Let's treat these kids visuri. My mom loves my mom loves telling us that my mom is has the heart of really helping people and at times at in the family to a cousin when she brings them at home takes care of them. So they are grownups. They can do their things. My mom was like but God fights their battles. Maybe I am not ready to fight with God. And that's true. And also do not bring in someone if you know you cannot take care of them. If you know yourself and you know you cannot take care of this child visi like your own, don't bring them in your family. That is you bringing a curse on your family because the moment that you bring yourself up like the moment you're bringing on yourselves. So instead of that at all yes so remind us where we can find you online as we get to wind up. Okay. Online I'm hope givers foundation in Tik Tok, Instagram, Facebook and YouTube.
