Every African child deserves an education. It’s a tragedy, but one we can all address and begin to change. If we all join together and donate to the building of schools we can offer these children hope and a chance at a better life.
Please DonateEvery child deserves an education and access to good health.However, for many children living in rural African communities, education is not available and child mortality is high. RHF strives to make education and proper health the basic right of every child, and the responsibility of every adult in the communities it serves. Together WE can build schools and administer vaccinations to offer these children hope and give them a chance at a better life.
Across the globe education and suitable healthcare has been identified as keys to national development. While primary and secondary education have improved, there is still much to be done in developing countries. Rural Hope Foundation has identified serious gaps – most notably in rural areas of Africa. These findings have resulted in providing these rural children access to quality education and healthcare.
Poverty is directly correlated to lack of Education; therefore, they must be addressed together. Through education and proper health, RHF aims at tackling poverty, improving healthcare and refining the quality of life for children.
Rural Hope Foundation selects projects with the express approval of members of the beneficiary communities.
Most African countries provide primary education at zero to little cost. Most of the primary education in rural areas are conducted under trees no access to High Schools.
Even if a rural community has a secondary school facility (most do not), families are hard pressed to raise funds for tuition or purchase uniforms and text books. This is particularly true for young girls.
Consequently, large numbers of young girls leave to urban areas to become street porters. With little or no education, money, shelter and no family support, most girls eventually live on streets, making them vulnerable to abuse and exploitation.
Their male equivalents also move to the city in search of work. But, without education or skills, they too fall victim to the chronic poverty that pervades much of sub-Saharan Africa.
