We are very happy with the completion of a brand new school kitchen at Mshikamano primary school! The existing kitchen was environmentally damaging, inefficient and unhygienic. Our partners Ndoto in Action met with the community at Mshikamano primary school and the community  immediately identified the school kitchen as one aspect of the school needing urgent attention.

We have published our Impact Report for 2022! Here is an update on our 2022 impact in each of our four core programmes of work:

In January 2023 Kaushik Shah rode 350km from Mumbai to Goa by bike on behalf of One Kind Act to help fund Made with Hopes classroom renovation plans at Oldenderet primary school. Kaushik has told us all about it…

Children in our partner schools often don’t wash their hands because there is no water or soap available. This leads to the spread of germs and illness, leading to absence from school and ill health. This affects grades, and can be a reason that students can’t progress to secondary school.

Some of the existing classrooms have no proper windows meaning when it's rainy or windy, the students get wet and feel too uncomfortable to learn. We want to improve school classrooms infrastructure to make a safe and comfortable learning environment.

In rural Arusha there is no access to fresh drinking water meaning students are thirsty, miss classes to collect water for their school or are left to consume unsafe water.
