About Hope Runs

About company

Hope Runs had its unlikely start at the end of the founders’ eight-month trip around the world in 2006. Travel weary, we (Claire Diaz-Ortiz and Lara Vogel) had settled into the Tumaini Children’s Home for the last stop of a 20-country tour, and–on the recommendation of a friend–had planned to use this place solely as a welcoming and comfortable base for climbing Mt. Kenya.
