Her First Big Travel Journey to East Africa
Her first time being exposed to a developing country, she quickly realized how broken the people were economically, but how spirited they were in their hearts. From her experience, she found out that she needed to mix her love of travel and contribute to the world. With this experience started the idea of KLH Group.
Working in the US for a big resort designing and planning destination events, Hope has the opportunity to interview for the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
The Four Pillars of KLH Group
The first pillar of her company is destination management, based in South Carolina. Second, she focuses on event design to build out the session space. Third, Hope implements social impact events and wraps up its pillars with its fourth pillar centering on MKAKATI, “where strategy meets the soul.”
