Our work started with a strong focus on supporting street children and has developed into comprehensive child support with a recognition of prevention over treatment outcomes. To holistically support a loving family unit, ultimately avoid children ever having to reach the harsh streets or be placed into an orphanage facility due to poverty, is something we strive for. Hope and Soul equally recognises and supports a number of children and young people who are unable to remain in an unsafe home environment and advocates and provides for their equal opportunities, hoping to break the cycle of generational poverty and trauma.

In our years of supporting under fives in individual daycare facilities we have recognised the benefits of early years education, good nutrition, social interaction and routine for little lives but equally importantly the opportunity it provides to parents and caregivers to work sustainably and provide for their family while their child is cared for in a safe space.

Establishing our own Hope and Soul daycare is a further step in our identified 2024 goals of transitioning to a more community focused sustainable charity. We know that a Hope and Soul daycare will bring about a positive shift in community thinking and we hope that this daycare will be the first of many.

Upon leaving the daycare at school age of six years the children would continue to be sponsored through Primary education in a local English Medium school. In Tanzania deprivation and poverty rates are highest among children 5-13 and 14-17 years of age (UNICEF) and as a charity we have a strong focus on children obtaining quality education. We believe it is a key that unlocks a brighter future with more opportunities.
