OUR WORK
Our Impact
Hope for A Better Future supports women & children in East Africa with their fundamental needs. Our work is a result of deep commitment to these people - an abandoned woman with four children and no income, a girl where her family can’t afford her school uniform, a poor woman with a capability to sew but with no sewing machine, young girls and women who miss school because they can’t afford menstruation products. Our services directly supports women and children towards a better future.
Our Projects
Strengthening children
In East Africa all children require a school uniform to attend school. This far from everyone can afford. We support children with uniforms and school supplies to make sure children secures the education all children are entitled to having. Towards an equal and a better future.
Women Empowerment
"There is no tool for development more effective than the empowerment of women." - Kofi Annan.
We can only agree and we strive to empower as many women as possible through business projects. Sustainable business that strengthens not only the women themselves but their family and community.
Today we operate two SACCOS (Savings and Credit Co-Operative Society) that supports almost 80 women.
Education & Community
Through regular meetings and education we bring women & youth together in the community. Sharing experiences and supporting each other the women grows stronger.
Community is key for us and we believe it enables a brighter future for the women and their families.
Water project - Mikameni village
Background: Water supply is poor in Mikameni village, where the preschool is located. In late 2021 investment in the groundwater survey was conducted to initiate the process of providing water through drilling a borehole. This will help provide safe and clean water as well as irrigation for agriculture for over 2,800 people living in the area.
Phase 1: In 2022 the borehole was drilled and a pump installed together with a 50,000L water tank to supply clean fresh water to the area for health, hygiene and irrigation.
Phase 2 is planned for 2023 to install 7 water stations in the village for easier access of water to improve overall health of villagers and economic growth and development.
