Teamwork City of Hope is a campus that is being built in Dr. Chacha’s home village of Ntagatcha, Tanzania. Included in this project are:
A Children’s Home—We currently house over 100 orphaned and vulnerable children. These children are not just being well cared for but they are being taught to be leaders. They help to raise their own food on our farm. When they join our home they are no longer orphans but part of a family.
Agriculture—We are raising crops to feed our children as well as additional cash crops. Our main crops include maize, beans, sukuma (greens), bananas, and pineapple. Our farm has become a teaching tool for the children who are not only learning to farm but learning how to work together, take responsibility and learn leadership.
Amaini (Peace) Medical Center—This medical facility was opened in 2012. Though we currently have only three employees, it is already making a great difference in the community. We have the physical capacity to offer a full range of medical services as staffing, power and water needs are met.
Destiny Primary School—In addition to providing and excelling English-medium education for the children in our children’s home, we serve over 300 students from the surrounding community. Our school has a reputation of great quality as our students are consistently scoring the highest in the district which consist of 186 schools.
