Hope for Africa
Bringing life to life
Africa is sensational and the people who live there are amazing!
But it is the hardest-tried continent. Those who live here – people, animals and nature alike – are struggling to survive. Lack of water (and more) is a major threat to their livelihoods. We learned that what Africa has to offer is beautiful, valuable and unique. I realized that we, the privileged, investing a little, can have a big impact… we can change and even save lives
About the project
Because all the people there need help, we decided to visit and help them.
SUCCESS
We launched the Hope for Africa project in 2021, starting our involvement in Kenya in this way:
Support for access to water sources
– Access to water sources in extremely dry areas
Supporting women
– Developing your own small business
Support for orphanages and rescue centers
– Food for orphanages, centers for rescuing trafficked children, isolated villages
– Buying goats for families
Transforming society
– Support for leaders and organizations already active and engaged in transforming society
– Support for small women entrepreneurs
Access to education
– School grants to give children access to education
FUTURE PLANS
Main Objective
There is a pressing need to dig a water well in Chasimba village, Malindi area of Kenya, at a depth of about 150-200 m. Generations – children, the elderly, adults and animals – of four villages in the area will benefit from WATER that means LIFE!
Benefits:
– Thirst quenching: Providing clean drinking water for the community and animals.
– Food source: Enables the cultivation of beans, maize, vegetables and animal husbandry.
– Hygiene and health: The ability to wash children and clothes.
Now, the only source of drinking water (which is not even sweet but semi-sweet) is that carried by children daily in pots carried on their heads from miles away. Famine and drought are ravaging the area.
The cost of digging a water well:
The average cost of a well is €20,000-25,000 and varies depending on the depth of the well.
Testimonials
“I had the privilege of meeting the Phoneo team and their Hope For Africa program in 2021 – I saw their deep burden and the passion they have for Africa. Since then, we have worked closely together. They have shown great love by helping with any need they have seen. They have helped many of our people in need, including children, widows and orphans.”
