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! 

 Has your water ever been turned off? If it has you’ll probably have had the realisation of how vital it is for so many things – cooking, cleaning, flushing the toilet, drinking. No one understands the importance of water better than Team Hope’s partners in Kenya.

Last year we got the news that a children’s centre that Team Hope support in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) had been destroyed and burned when violence erupted between rival militia groups. Since then...

The project’s aim is to strengthen our partners capacity to advocate and mobilize communities towards elimination of stigma and discrimination against people living with HIV/AIDS and to provide education to rural populace to achieve zero new infections.

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.
