Meet ICHope

ICHope is a non-profit organization set up by Natalie Freebairn through the SIFE (Students in Free Enterprise) program at Brigham Young University- Hawaii.  

ICHope was created to serve the needs of underprivileged children through Education.  It is our goal to prepare these kids to, one day, go to a university.  Our purpose is to help these children gain the English and computer skills that will aid them on their journey to a university, college, trade school, etc.  We feel this is important because English is the language of Academia.   We have found, through our own collegiate experiences, that Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint are crucial in our classes.  We help children become proficient with these programs as well as basic internet usage.

ICHope serves children within their own country.  Our plea to the children is twofold:  1) Once success has smiled upon them, we ask that they return to their homeland to better themselves and their economy.  2) We implore them to give back what was given to them by donating to organizations that deal with underprivileged children or share their English and computer skills with underprivileged children.  

The ICHope teachers are student interns from BYU- Hawaii.

The business end of this organization is also run by students at BYU- Hawaii.  

ICHope uses materials that were generously donated by Microsoft.
