Child hope foundation (CHF) is an idependent,non profit organization,non-religious,non partisan and it was initiated and established in year 2012 ,it was finally registered in 2014 in Dar es salaam Tanzania. CHF aims at improving the quality of life of high vulnarable children and women at the grass root level .
The project operates in rural area of Kilimanjaro and Serengeti.These are tourism region in Tanzania,but inhabited with low income earnes most of the people are illiterate.We choose Serengeti and Kilimanjaro as our ideal sites for our Program because it is the intersection of poverty and opportunities.
CHF has since implemented programmes to address these ills, it has learnt that long-term sustainable and impact on these children’s lives is best cultivated from their communities. After year of reflection, CHF’s direction has shifted with greater emphasis on empowering vulnerable children in their communities ..
We formed a women group known as “AMANI WOMEN GROUP’’ to start small activities and try to help children and the communities in participate way. Since these women being mother of some of students ,it obvious that working together could be constructive for communities .
Through women group we are stimulating job creation and economic growth by providing micro and small entrepreneurship with advice,Mentorship and entrepreneurship training.(vegetable vendor,local Poutry Project,Making charcoal i.e Charcoal is made by burning a piece of wood until all the impurities are gone and only the coal remains) a.Currently we have 100 women in both project one in Kilimanjaroand another one in Serengeti.
