Business Chief USA August 2019

spirit and commitment are a real
differentiator for the company, Harpe
insists – home ownership is all about
aspiration, the family and a stable
society, so the company that Kevin Stitt
founded has always looked for ways to
reach out. The projects it supports are
numerous, but typified by the establishment
and continuing support of a Christian
school in Nigeria in 2009 as well as
the Gateway Youth Ranch in Uganda
which enhances the lives of disadvantaged
young people in that country.
Closer to home, Harpe picks out
Pearl’s Hope, a Tulsa-based project
and refuge that supports homeless
women and their families and helps
them get back on their feet. “Oftentimes
they find themselves having to
run from home without the most basic
necessities of life: Gateway provides
Pearl’s Hope with some of these
essentials.” The compassion he clearly
feels chimes in with the company’s
ethos of helping hard-working people
regardless of their current wealth.
