BRENDA SMITH
donor relations coordinator
Brenda served as HopeCo’s first missionary since 2023, supporting our East Africa Regional Director and staff in both our Tanzania and Kenya ministry locations. Her work in Machakos, Kenya was timely and essential to establish this ministry location for more growth and expansion necessary to care for many more children and families in this severely impoverished region.
Having completed that assignment, HopeCo is delighted to welcome Brenda on staff as our new Donor Relations Coordinator. She will continue to foster relationships with donors and churches as she has so effectively done from a field level, travel to and from our East Africa ministry locations as needed and help grow the ministry to care for more vulnerable children.
Brenda will live and work out of her hometown in Northwest Indiana and looks forward to being closer to her aging parents, children and grandchildren.
