In 2022 it was estimated that still 44% of families in Tanzania were living in extreme poverty (UNICEF), we witness families and children in uttermost need on a daily basis within our encompassing area of provision in Arusha district alone. 

Our work started with a strong focus on supporting street children and has developed into holistic family 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 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. In reality  we are providing the tools and resources for children and young people from all backgrounds to focus on their education and building a brighter future.
