The project showed the positive impact to the social economic life of the beneficiaries as the testimony shows.

Mukanubaha Redampta lives in Kabungo Village, Kinini Cell in Shyogwe Sector.
She “I was very poor. My husband died and I should do everything possible to feed my children. ”

She explained “It’s since last year that Hope of Family came to our village, and they chose poor families and I was selected among them.

“In the first place they asked us to attend community reading class at the same time encouraging us to regularly visit our children at school.”

The primary goal of Hope of Family is to promote parental involvement in their children education while improving families’ socio-economic status. Families and Hope of Family staff agree on the contract terms to sign in order to effectively support their children and raise their school performance. Parents agree to visit their children on the weekly basis, provide more after-school time for their revision, respond sooner to teacher’s or any other school leader’ invitation to discuss about the child’s learning.
