We are pleased to introduce a former student at Good Hope, Scholastica, who is attending University through a scholarship from Good Hope. Some of you already know her as Schola. She describes Good Hope as “the beautiful place where children learn, build confidence and get scholarships”. Schola tells how she gained a lot of confidence at Good Hope and therefore feels more secure when she speaks to other students or professors at the university.

Schola is a third year student at St. Augustine University, located in the Mwanza region, where she is pursuing a Bachelor of Arts in Public Relations and Marketing. As a part of her degree, Schola is currently an intern at Good Hope, where she gains an understanding of how Public Relations engage in daily practices and integrate both theoretical and practical aspects into organizations. She will be working with us until November, when she will return to St. Augustine University to finish her degree.

Scholastica likes her life in Mwanza where she is studying, even though it is far away from her hometown. Life at University has helped her become more independent, solve problems and live together with people from different regions and countries. Scholastica enjoys how the university structures the classes, heavily utilizing group discussions and presentations in the classroom. Another experience Scholastica values is her time with Good Hope, teaching the children, playing and singing with them and sharing life stories.

The Team from Good Hope is very proud of the hard work Schola has put into her education, and we are happy to continue seeing her success in the future

Good Hope is a charitable non-profit organization, whose goal is to fight educational inequality. We offer our services especially to teenagers from less privileged families. Good Hope has three main programs, which all support disadvantaged youth in our community in Moshi.

1. The most visible program is our Stepping Stone Program for primary school graduates who had no opportunity to join secondary school. We invite the student to stay with us for two years in order to improve their English and Mathematics skills and gain confidence.

2. Our Student Sponsorship Program is designed for graduates of our Stepping Stone Program. We provide scholarships or connect talented students with private sponsors to support marginalized youth in their pursuit for a better education from secondary school up to vocational training and/or university education.

3. Our Adolescent Girls Empowerment program supports teenage mothers who have been denied further education due to their pregnancy. As part of this program we also provide reproductive health training and free washable sanitary pads to primary school girls.

The three mentioned programs all revolve around the same mission: to provide education, skills, knowledge and emotional support to disadvantaged youth in the community and enable them to find formal employment.

SENSITIVE MATERIAL WARNING:

Good Hope is in mourning. With permission from her parents, we want to share the story of our dear student Halima, who passed away under preventable circumstances. She was 20 years old.

Halima joined the Good Hope program in early 2015 and stayed in our Secondary School Preparation Program for two years. In December 2016 she was provided a School Sponsorship, finished middle school, and in 2021 she began vocational training at Moshi’s excellent vocational training center, VETA. She studied Machine Tool Repairing. Halima was a quiet but confident young woman, which was also reflected in her wonderful choice to join a course that is relatively atypical for young Muslim women.

On July 23, Halima passed away from complications caused by a pregnancy. A pregnancy that she had to hide if she wanted to continue her studies. Our society highly values discretion, as discretion is very productive for stable social bonds. And we at Good Hope respect and cherish that discretion. But it also comes with a downside – it can prevent people from seeking much needed help.

Halima could not tell her parents about her pregnancy, as it is often family members who report their pregnant children at school. The girls, in turn, get expelled, as pregnant schoolgirls are denied further education. Halima also did not receive prenatal care, care that would have provided her with supplements, with screenings that might have shown whether something was wrong with her twin fetuses, and counselling on ways to create a future for herself and her children.

The passing of our dear student, our child, causes us to reflect deeply on how we, as a Team, can prevent such grief in the future. Our hearts are broken for Halima and her family. We do not want other students, other families, our community to experience such tragedy and heartbreak.

- What should we have done differently?
- How can we provide positive and appropriate reproductive health lessons?
- How can we offer a contact point for counselling that respects the students’ wishes for discretion, while also offering all the support a student might need?

It has been six months since our #bintipads project came to life. It is part of our #mabintiproject that aims to provide teenage mothers with education and vocational training.

Our biggest dream is for all students to have equal opportunities to finish middle school if they wish to, and to encourage life-long learning. One major challenge for school girls, some as young as nine years old, is the lack of sanitary products during the time of their menstruation which causes many girls to miss out classes during that time.

We are beside ourselves with joy to have seen the tremendous support we received from you as friends and donors, from the #schools we visited, and the local governments. The project has also been so warmly welcomed and well received by the #girls, who opened up during the #menstrualhealth training provided by Sarah and/or Oliver. We provided a safe space where any kinds of questions can be asked, such as “what if I am 14 years old and I still have not gotten it?”, “what type of underwear can I wear with the pads?”. Other students raised their concerns over not having underwear strong enough to keep a pad in, and others asked what to do if it leaks. Many questions that girls often cannot ask their parents or teachers about, due to the great stigma around periods.

Thanks to you, we have been able to visit four primary schools and provide sanitary pads and menstrual health training. In total we have provided 267 packages of Binti Pads this year, each pack containing four pads. That’s 1068 pads. Wow!

A tremendous thanks to all who have supported us, @haticeoe and @k_yildiz_ and so many more. ❤️
