Our Story
This is the story of how HopeReaching United came to be.
Rodna: Rodna felt a gap in the traditional school system, yearning for more support from teachers. Everything changed when she met a mentor who instilled in her self-belief, confidence, and the skills to achieve her goals. This mentor played a vital role in her life, inspiring Rodna to commit herself to guiding other young people.
Today, she is a certified personal development coach, speaker, and advocate for young people. She travels the world delivering programs, coaching, and mentoring, empowering young individuals to realise their potential and pursue their dreams.
Gideon: Gideon is a filmmaker, director, and creative spirit with a deep passion for media and creative expression. He has directed numerous short films and worked on various projects, including wedding videos, events, and corporate productions.
In today's world, young people often face challenges and are frequently told what they can't achieve. HopeReaching United provides a safe environment that believes in young individuals, encouraging them to dream big and reach their full potential, regardless of gender, ethnicity, or socioeconomic background.
Our motto is "be the change you wish to see in the world.". Gideon, with his expertise in cinematography and creative direction, partnered with Rodna's coaching background and dedication to young people, giving birth to HopeReaching United.
