At Health & Hope Foundation, education takes many forms. Sometimes it happens at a school desk, sometimes in a rice field, and sometimes beside a veterinarian with a stethoscope in hand.
Learning and Growing at Tumaini
At our Tumaini Tutor School in Mwanza, nearly 100 orphaned and vulnerable children ages 4–17 receive free educational support six days each week.
We are delighted to introduce Madam Oliga as our new School Teaching Lead. With five years of teaching experience at Tumaini, she knows our students and their needs well. Together with Madam Judith and our dedicated teachers, she helps children build the skills and confidence to succeed in school.
Our daily nutrition program also provides a balanced meal for approximately 40 cents per student. For some children, it may be their only complete meal of the day.
From the Classroom to the Rice Field
Education is not only for children.
Our Mwanza Women's Business Groups are learning financial management, savings, and improved farming practices. Recently, women collected soil samples from their new rice-growing plot for laboratory testing, putting their classroom lessons directly into practice.
Learning New Skills in Maasai Communities
In Nainokanoka, 45 Maasai women are receiving hands-on livestock training from a local veterinarian. They are learning animal care, disease prevention, and vaccination techniques to help protect their new businesses.
Meanwhile, our 21 Maasai scholarship students have safely returned to government boarding schools, continuing their education and building brighter futures.
Whether learning happens at a school desk, in a rice field, or beside a veterinarian, knowledge creates opportunities that last.
Thank you for making these opportunities possible.
