What we do: Our Programmes
We work in very rural communities in Arusha, Tanzania where there is no electricity, no clean drinking water, no public transport and most households are living in extreme poverty. We partner with schools in these communities and support them in four essential areas.

A History of Made With Hope
A History of Made With Hope
Made with Hope began with one £12 donation
2012 - Eleanor first witnessed children living in poverty while travelling in South America. She was devastated that people lived this way and decided that it was her life's purpose to make the world a fairer place to live in for the poorest children.
2013 - Eleanor first visited rural Tanzania, wanting to better understand how some of the poorest people in the world were living and what barriers they face. She decided to partner with a local Tanzanian NGO to understand what the community actually needed and wanted, empowering the community to help their children without being a ‘western saviour’.
Nov 2013 - Returning to the UK, Eleanor began the steps to establish Made With Hope as a charity. She decided on 2 aims:
- helping children to break out of the cycle of poverty; and
- ensure donors knew where their hard earned money was going to.
It took 2 months to raise £1000, but Eleanor was determined and taught herself about fundraising and how to run a charity day to day.
2013 - Our first partnership was with CHETI Primary School and Girls Boarding house in Nadasoito, in the region of Arusha. We put plans in place to build 5 classrooms and support the school with improving their clean water supplies and infrastructure and providing clean energy through a solar project.
2016 - We began our partnership with CHETI Secondary school, a large scale project with aspirations to build 6 classrooms, a biology lab and a block of 10 girls toilets.
Jan 2019 - Eleanor, this time taking along trustee Alex, returned to Tanzania for the official opening of CHETI Secondary school! In addition to the building work we also installed 3 rain water harvesting units, 2 hand washing stations and delivered over 100 textbooks!
March 2019 - We launched our Solar Light pilot project which gives students the opportunity to borrow lamps which they can take home to use when studying.
July 2019 - Six years after first establishing as a charity, we have hired our first full-time member of staff, taking us into a new and exciting era as a charity.
