Word of Hope founders, Rev. Michel and Lady Lydie Ouedraogo, have a passion to not only help others, but to care for them, to bring them to the other side, to encourage their success. This vision is reflected in the mission of Light of Hope African University; preparing its students to be different, to be shining examples to their communities, to be responsible citizens.

Through partnerships with people like you, a new day is dawning not only to meet needs of the community, but to bring hope to an entire nation through a holistic approach to post-secondary education - feeding and nurturing the intellectual and spiritual growth of youth, young adults and working professionals through baccalaureate programs such as Marketing & Communications, Transport/Logistics, Finance, Accounting, Civil Engineering, Human Resource Management; and master's programs in Marketing & Communications, Human Resource Management and Project Management.
