Our most recent project in Kenya is working in an area inhabited by the Kamba community. 50% of the community is made up of children and most families eat what they grown in their own gardens. But the land there is dry and the rain is unreliable so food is not plentiful and children’s health suffers because of the lack of nutrition, clean drinking water and sanitation.

The children who receive your shoeboxes come from communities affected by poverty where they often face deep challenges. Communities often struggle with issues like a lack of clean water, the inability to provide balanced, nutritious meals each day,  poor healthcare, low incomes and exclusion. That’s why the shoeboxes that they receive make such a difference! 

Children are amongst the most vulnerable in any society. Team Hope works to help ensure that they are protected and cared for in a safe environment.

We seek to provide help to children living in poverty through working with their families and communities to bring lasting change. One if the effective ways we empower families and help increase income is through Village Savings and Loans Associations.

We implement projects which seek to prevent the spread of diseases such as HIV/AIDS through raising awareness, reducing stigma and providing support and care to those affected.

Team Hope helps provide sustainable access to water as well as working to empower communities to change hygiene and sanitation behaviours.

The Early Childhood Development Centre, is similar to a preschool where children can be stimulated and start to learn, rather than being brought with their parents as they work in the fields or left with elderly relatives.
