Why this matters now
The silent education crisis no one is talking about
Across Sub-Saharan Africa, 258 million children and youth are out of school — the highest number of any region in the world. Behind every statistic is a child like Amina, who has the intelligence and the will to learn, but is stopped by poverty, distance, and lack of materials.
Without school, children — especially girls — are more vulnerable to early marriage, labour exploitation and cycles of poverty that span generations. Education is the most effective, proven intervention we have.
Charity & Hope works directly on the ground, partnering with local communities, training teachers and removing the barriers that keep children from the classroom. Your donation reaches the field in 72 hours.

A future worth investing in
Meet Amina — talent, courage and ambition
Amina is a bright young girl from rural Kenya who dreams of becoming a doctor. Like millions of children across Africa, she faces barriers that have nothing to do with ability — school fees, missing textbooks and a daily two-hour walk to class.
When donors step in, the barriers disappear. Attendance becomes consistent. Learning becomes real. Dignity is restored — and a child gets the chance to shape her own future instead of having it shaped for her.
When I get to school, I feel like I can be anything. My teacher says I am the best in maths in the whole class.
— Amina, 10 years old, KenyaSimple and transparent

The lives you are changing
Stories collected by our teams in Kenya, Mozambique and Guinea-Bissau.
My children almost starved. Because of donors like you, we received food and I now have steady work. I have hope again for the first time in years.
Fatima, 28
Mother of 3 — Mozambique
I used to walk six hours every day for dirty water. Now we have a well in our village. The children do not fall sick anymore. That changed everything for us.
João, 42
Farmer — Angola
I am the first person in my family to go to school. When I grow up, I want to be a doctor and take care of the people in my community.

Common questions
Everything donors want to know
Clear, honest answers before you give — because trust matters more than conversions.
Donate nowYes. Charity & Hope is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Donations are tax-deductible to the fullest extent permitted by U.S. law. An official receipt is sent automatically to your email after every payment.
