OUR WORK
Our Impact
Hope for a Better Future is dedicated to uplifting women and children in East Africa by meeting their essential needs and nurturing long-term well-being. Guided by a heartfelt commitment to these communities, our work empowers women and children to step into a brighter, more secure future.
Through locally anchored initiatives in education, clean water, women empowerment and social support, we help build stronger foundations for lasting change. Together, we continue to support and uplift women and children in Tanzania—step by step, and always with hope at heart.
Our Projects
Strengthening children
At the heart of our mission is the Hope for future pre-school Project, located in Mikameni Village, in Tanzania’s Kilimanjaro region. In 2024, the pre-school continued to serve 80 children through a combined education and nutrition program designed to lay strong foundations for learning, health, and well-being. Each child receives:
- One nutritious meal per day, essential in a region where food insecurity is common.
- Uniforms and warm sweaters, which not only create a sense of belonging but provide warmth—especially important as many children have no other warm clothing.
- Health assessments, with records kept to monitor each child’s development, growth, and overall well-being.
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 three SACCOS (Savings and Credit Co-Operative Society) that supports over 100 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
Access to clean water has long been a challenge in Mikameni village, home to our pre-school and surrounding communities. In late 2021, a groundwater survey revealed a strong underground water source 180 meters deep—laying the foundation for a transformative water project.
Phase 1 (2022): A borehole was drilled, a pump installed, and a 50,000-liter water tank constructed to provide safe water for health, hygiene, and agriculture.
Phase 2 (2023): Seven water stations were installed throughout the village, improving daily access and supporting better health and local development.
By 2024, over 8,000 people—from Mikameni and nearby villages— now have reliable access to clean water. This access has also boosted local agriculture, with more households now able to grow crops year-round thanks to irrigation.
