Thanks to ASV for showing their support to Streets of Hope by donating money to wear their Christmas Jumpers today!!
 A massive THANK-YOU to everyone that supported us at our Streets of Hope Quiz last night!
We raised an amazing £470!! 1.35 million Tanzanian shillings which will go a huge way in providing street children with the care, support and opportunities that they need to get off of the street and out of poverty. If you weren't able to make it to the Quiz Night but would still like to support us then please click here to donate. The last 2 months at St.Anthony's College has seen Kevy and John settle in well and loving learning new skills of welding and metal fabrication. They have learnt so much already and the teachers are really pleased with their dedication and progression! The boys still visit us every weekend at Hope House and we love to see how happy and grateful they are for the opportunity that they have been given. :)
18 Street Boys @ Hope House today! Lots of food, football & fun had by all! #NewRecord #BusyDay19/8/2017 
 Thanks to our amazing supporters we raised an incredible £989.34 for college fees! Thanks to this money John & Kevy were extremely excited to move in to St.Anthony's College to begin their course at the start of this week! We were delighted that John's mother, pictured in the middle, joined us to help settle John in. Extreme poverty has seen John living on and off the streets for the past 5 years as his family have been unable to care for him; Today we got to see his mother moved to tears that her son has been given an opportunity that she has always dreamt of for him. The money that you have helped us raise will truely change the lives of these two boys and their families and we cannot thank-you enough!! Sadly for us, Sami, who was due to join Kevy and John, decided not to go ahead with the course. Unfortunately sometimes leaving behind the streets, their friends and everything that they know can be just as scary as the streets themselves. We will continue working with Sami & hope that we will be able to place him with something more suitable in the future. Thank-you again to everyone that has supported these boys - we will keep you posted with how they are getting on :)
Thanks to many lovely people @ ASV Global we raised an amazing £268.34 from our bake sale yesterday, raising money to send 3 boys to study Welding & Metal Fabrication @ College. Thank-You ASV!   At the end of this month we are very pleased to be sending 3 boys to learn Welding & Metal Fabrication @ St Anthony's College, Musoma, Tanzania!
Whilst on the 1 year course the boys will have full boarding at the college, completely removing them from life on the street, and once trained they will be equipped with a profitable lifetime skill that they can use to lift themselves and their families out of poverty! We would love your help in raising £1,350 to cover all costs of sending these 3 boys. This will include costs for accommodation, food, healthcare and all required equipment. Please donate generously to give these children the opportunities that they deserve! This week we've had the privilege of sending 3 boys back to school full time to catch up on their learning! Looks like the first week at school was a success - Smiles all round! :) |
