The foundation BeHoCa Foundation was established in May 2012 in the Netherlands by Melissa Kreps. As many street children in Kenya as possible will be offered a promising future. During her Social Work study at Avans in the Netherlands, Melissa completed her internship in South Africa in 2009. After completing her studies in the Netherlands she returned to Africa because of the beautiful experience during her time in South-Africa. ‘I’ve lost my heart to Africa’, says Melissa. After a beautiful journey through Africa, Melissa ended up in Mombasa in Kenya this time. She worked with orphans, AIDS orphans and eventually with street boys. While working with the boys Melissa encountered that the children were short in many areas. ‘The children are so eager to go to school, to change and to have a life as a child without any worry. Unfortunately this just remains a dream for many of them.Therefore we see it as our mission to assist the street children in achieving a promising future with lots of possibilities.’ The board of the foundation consist of 5 members: • Chairperson: Melissa Kreps • Vice Chairperson: Marja van Garderen • Secretary: Anke Meersta • Treasurer: José Kreps • PR & webdesign: Rianne Heijkoop The foundation is a non-profit organization. The board and volunteers receive no compensation for their part in the foundation. They work with their heart and soul for the street children of Kenya.
