The Hoopo hoopoe in flight

Re-defining charity from pity to paychecks

Hoopo is a social enterprise that transforms impoverished communities through the power of work. Our unique investment model creates jobs that break the reliance on handouts, while delivering a return to our supporters as well. We put your kindness where it counts.

From aid to employment

Donations create dependency. We think there's a better way. We put your kindness where it counts, creating jobs that transform poverty-stricken communities into thriving social enterprises.

Brand new jobs

In 2025 alone our programs created 95 jobs across 60 villages: cattle feeders, cooks, seamstresses, teachers and builders, most of them women.

The gift that keeps on giving

Our cattle farmers earn 2.5 times the salary of peers with the same experience, and keep a share of the profit at the end of every cycle.

Banking for all

And we've opened bank accounts for villagers legitimizing their efforts in creating a better future for themselves.

From donations to dividends

We've created an investment - not a donation - model. Micro entrepreneurs get the investment they need to succeed and you get a healthy return on investment, making Hoopo a sound financial choice and a sound moral one too.

Do good and prosper

Eight completed investment cycles since 2018, with an average return of 11.04% per six-month cycle.

The gift that keeps on giving

Very small entrepreneurs earn 1.5 times the average cattle farmer's income, with business bank accounts in their own names.

Tools for success

Our 360 cycle uses donations to first build the infrastructure to provide basic health, sanitation, and education needs for communities to then focus on economic growth through our investment products.

From bloated to lean

When you donate to a charity, nearly half the money doesn't make it to the field. Our admin fees are zero. So all of your money funds micro investments that deliver a macro impact that lift up communities for good.

Who we are

<10%

Lean and mean

Our administrative fees to date have always been near zero percent and our commitment is to always stay less than 10 percent.
