Children belong in families, for too long, the world’s most vulnerable children have been forgotten and ignored. Millions of children are abandoned for a life on the streets or live with unsafe families or in soulless institutions. Hope and Soul supports measures to keep children in their families and communities or to find safe alternatives where this is not possible. The key is always the best interests of the child because these children are the future generation.

An estimated 2 million children between the ages of 7 and 13 years in Tanzania are out-of-school. Almost 70 per cent of children aged 14–17 years are not enrolled in secondary education. (Unicef, 2018)

Girls, the poorest children, children with disabilities and children living in underserved communities are most vulnerable to dropping out of school or never going to school. (Unicef, 2018)

This is where the generous supporters of Hope and Soul step up and give support...
