About Us
Dr. Elizabeth Peters, Founder, Chair, Author & Advocate for Youth Empowerment
As Founder and Chair of One Hope For Kidz, I lead efforts to bridge the digital divide through technology labs and education initiatives. We've established five computer labs, with a sixth underway, while providing critical tuition support to underserved students.
I'm pleased to share that all proceeds from my book, Entrepreneurial Resilience: Innovative Solutions for Overcoming Disastrous Challenges, will directly support our programs at OneHopeForKidz.org. The book offers practical strategies for business leaders facing challenges, while helping fund scholarships and educational resources for youth in need.

New Direction for 2025/2026 - Tuition Support STEM Students
This year, OHFKO is dedicating its efforts to supporting STEM students by fully funding their academic tuition for an entire school year. By removing the financial barrier of tuition, we aim to closely track and nurture each student’s educational journey.
As of January 2025, we’ve proudly supported over 27 students by covering their first semester fees. Two additional semesters remain, and we’re committed to securing the necessary funding. Looking ahead to 2026, our goal is to double the number of students we serve—and to continue expanding our impact year after year.
