Good Hope Support Organization

We are so proud and happy to have such generous supporters like JCI Olten. Their incredible fundraiser means that for an entire year, our breakfast program at Good Hope will keep nourishing all the kindergarteners and teens in our programs.

They even wrote about the fundraiser in their local newspaper: https://noz.ch/olten-niederamt/detail/jci-olten-schenkt-kindern-in-tansania-ein-jahr-voller-fruehstueck-und-hoffnung

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts to everyone who made this possible! 🥰

Today, we’re excited to introduce our Pre-Form One Short Course! This three-month course gives primary school graduates a valuable head start on the path to secondary school, bridging the long holiday after their national exams with engaging, meaningful activities. It also prepares them for the transition from Swahili instruction in primary school to English in secondary school.

Each year in September, seventh graders across Tanzania complete their primary school national exams, eagerly awaiting results in December. For many, this marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter: starting in January, they enter government secondary schools, where English is the primary language of instruction. Our short course is designed to make this transition as smooth and effective as possible, giving students the skills and confidence they need to thrive in their new academic environment. Students who don’t receive direct entry into secondary school are invited to stay with us in our Stepping Stone Program. This program provides continued support, offering a space where they can explore their next steps alongside our trained staff and with the involvement of their parents over the coming next two years.

We’re thrilled to have Teacher Grace, our newest team member, leading the course this year! Her passion and dedication are already making a difference, and we can’t wait to introduce her to you more formally soon. ❤️

Here’s to meaningful education, new beginnings, and the bright futures of every young learner!  🙌🏾
