Our School

Our School in Kibosho Village

At Helping Hands Development Center (HHDC), we are proud to operate a school in Kibosho village, located at the base of the majestic Mount Kilimanjaro. Each year, we recruit around forty children who are in need of support, providing them with free education.

In addition to education, these children also receive free meals, which are essential for their growth and well-being. For those who receive sponsorship, the funds help cover essential needs such as teacher salaries and nutritious meals. We pool all the sponsorship funds into one basket to ensure that we can effectively support every child’s educational journey.

However, we face a significant challenge. Each year, we lose about thirty-five children to government schools or unknown paths, which deeply saddens us. We want to help these children build their careers and futures, but without a dedicated school facility, we struggle to keep them all in one place and provide the necessary follow-ups.

This is why we urgently need donors who can assist us in building a school facility. With your support, we can ensure that all forty children have a safe and nurturing environment to learn and grow, helping them realize their full potential and break the cycle of poverty.

We are also incredibly grateful to our generous sponsor, Luella Gobin from the USA. She discovered our struggles with providing food at our organization and decided to fund one of our three acres of land. Luella has helped us establish facilities like an irrigation system and fencing around the property, protecting our crops from animals. This farm has tremendously improved our ability to support the children and provide them with the nutrition they need
