HopeCo in Tanzania
City of Hope, Tanzania
Located in Ntagacha, an extremely impoverished Tanzanian community close to the Kenyan border, City of Hope rescues children from situations of abuse, child marriage, female genital mutilation (FGM), hunger, and disease. Infant mortality and HIV/AIDS are significant problems. In the past, crime has been high and violence commonplace between the different clans.
City of Hope has been highly influential in giving hope and a future to vulnerable children and their families by providing:
Residential care for orphans and other at-risk children, where their physical, emotional, educational, social, and spiritual needs are met. Many of these young people are girls who have been rescued from abusive situations, including child marriage and female genital mutilation.
Quality education in schools, the only reliable exit from generational poverty. Our schools in Tanzania consistently score among the best in the country. We are now sending a growing number of young people on to college.
A medical clinic that helps give kids a healthy start, offering vaccinations and medical exams that uncover and treat health threats early in their lives – as well as providing prenatal and postnatal care, dental care, and other essential health care to the wider community.
Women’s empowerment programs, including teaching new employment and business management skills that enable women to earn an income and care for their families.
Leadership development programs for our children, local church pastors, and the wider community.
Other activities working with local churches and the community, developing infrastructure, providing training and leadership development, and facilitating reconciliation between different tribal groups.
The foundation of all programs is a strong commitment to sharing the love of Christ and disciple children and others who give their lives to Him.
HopeCo in Kenya
In 2020, HopeCo extended its operations across the border into Kenya. Here hopeco is…
Providing protective care to vulnerable girls. This includes the House of Faraja, a safe house for girls rescued from abuse, trafficking, child marriage, and female genital mutilation. Here they are safe, and receive trauma-informed counseling, quality education, and spiritual nurture as they are cared for by our loving staff.
Empowering young women, mostly teen moms, through teaching them how to sew and equipping them with the skills needed to earn an income and provide for themselves and their families. This program also provides emotional and spiritual care.
Supporting vulnerable children in Machakos who daily face numerous challenges: lack of food, sickness, and lack of education. Through our Family Empowerment Center, we offer nutritious meals, education, counseling, and spiritual nurture and other support as needed to 60+ children.
Investing in families. We work with local community leaders to provide education on gender-based violence, poverty alleviation workshops, and other form of support for families.

Safeguarding of children and vulnerable adults
HopeCo takes the protection of children very seriously. The child’s safety and best interests are always our primary concern and consideration. We believe that child abuse is an atrocity that is never acceptable.
HopeCo is a member of Keeping Children Safe, an international network of organizations committed to the highest possible safeguarding standards. These include developing clear policies, training our teams and children, thorough vetting of all staff and volunteers, and rigorous accountability processes.
