Hope for tomorrow

Hope for Tomorrow is a compassionate collective dedicated to uplifting homeless and hungry children across Tanzania, Uganda, and Kenya. United by a shared vision, we believe that through collaboration and empathy, we can profoundly transform the lives of the most vulnerable among us. Our mission goes beyond providing immediate assistance; we strive to address the underlying causes of hunger and poverty in Africa, where millions of children endure the harsh realities of food insecurity. Together, we can ignite hope and create lasting change for a brighter future.

Currently, 226.7 million people in Africa are suffering from chronic hunger, with many living in sub-Saharan regions where extreme poverty prevails. In this region, one in four people suffers from hunger, and nearly 40% to 50% of the population lives below the poverty line, earning less than $1.25 a day. These staggering statistics highlight the urgent need for action. The children in these areas are particularly vulnerable, often going days without food and facing the harsh realities of life on the streets.

We aren't a formal organization, but a passionate group of people dedicated to showing love, sharing resources, and providing a brighter future for street children in need. Every act of kindness counts, and together, we can create real change, one child at a time.

Our Solution: At Hope for Tomorrow, we have developed a sustainable approach to fighting hunger and poverty. We focus on both immediate and long-term solutions:


Our mission is rooted in the belief that every child deserves the chance to thrive, dream, and succeed. Many of these children face unimaginable challenges—hunger, lack of shelter, and the absence of caring adults. By pooling our resources, we aim to offer not just immediate relief but also long-term support, helping to break the cycle of poverty and despair.

Through community engagement and outreach programs, we strive to provide essentials like food, clothing, and educational opportunities. We believe that education is a powerful tool that can transform lives, and we work to ensure that every child we reach has access to the learning they deserve.

Despite the enormity of the hunger crisis, there is hope. Together, we can reduce these numbers and ensure that no child goes to bed hungry. Join us in our journey to spread hope and create lasting impact. Whether through donations, volunteering, or simply spreading the word about our cause, every effort helps us move closer to our vision of a world where no child is left behind. Together, we can build a brighter tomorrow.

Our Mission

Our mission is simple: to ensure that no child goes hungry or homeless. By uniting people from around the world, we strive to provide food, shelter, and education to the children who need it most. We are driven by a sense of shared humanity and the belief that together, we can uplift these children.

Hope for Tomorrow is built on the principle of compassion and shared responsibility. By working as a community, we can create lasting change and give children the support they need to thrive.

We recognize that hunger and homelessness are not just statistics; they represent real lives filled with dreams, hopes, and untapped potential. Each child we serve has a unique story, a personal journey shaped by circumstances beyond their control. We believe that by reaching out and offering our support, we can help them rewrite their narratives and reclaim their futures.

Through partnerships with local communities, we are committed to providing sustainable solutions. This means not just immediate relief but also fostering an environment where children can learn, grow, and ultimately become self-sufficient. Our educational programs aim to empower children with the knowledge and skills they need to break free from the cycle of poverty.

We invite you to join us in this vital mission. Every contribution, whether it’s a donation, volunteer effort, or simply spreading awareness about our cause, plays a crucial role in transforming lives. Together, we can create a world where every child has the chance to thrive and where hope becomes a reality for all.

HUNGER AND FOOD SCARCENESS IN AFRICA

Current hunger and famine crises: Wars and droughts


Hunger and famine crises are escalating at several hot spots: in four countries – three in Africa and one in the Middle East – a total of 20 million people, including countless children, are at risk of starvation. These four crisis areas, all suffering from the consequences of armed conflict, are:

Nigeria: The terror unleashed by Boko Haram militants triggered a mass exodus in northeastern Nigeria. When the Nigerian army recaptured the area in 2016, the scale of the refugee and hunger crisis became apparent.

Somalia: Located in the Horn of Africa, Somalia is marked by decades of civil war and anarchy. Now Somalia has been hit by a devastating drought and related famine. This is even more drastic than the 2011-2012 famine.

South Sudan: In the north of South Sudan, famine prevails: on February 2, 2017, the United Nations officially proclaimed a hunger emergency. The country’s civil war, which has been raging for years, leaves fields fallow and blocks aid deliveries.

Yemen:The "poor house" of the Arab world is the only non-African country that is currently threatened by a famine. Since 2015, Yemen has been shaken by a civil war. Hunger is used as a weapon against the civilian population.





In addition, people in many African countries have recently been suffering from the effects of the weather phenomenon El Niño: droughts or torrential rains destroy crops, kill cattle and lead to starvation.

In 2017, 37 countries, including 28 in Africa, depended on food aid, according to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO).

These countries are: Afghanistan, Burkina Faso, Burundi, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad, Congo, Djibouti, DR Congo [or Democratic Republic of the Congo], Eritrea, Ethiopia, Guinea, Haiti, Iraq, Kenya, Lesotho, Liberia, Libya, Madagascar, Malawi, Mali, Mauritania, Mozambique, Myanmar, Niger, Nigeria, North Korea, Pakistan, Sierra Leone, Somalia, South Sudan, Sudan, Swaziland, Syria, Uganda, Yemen and Zimbabwe.

But the United Nations lacks the money to provide much-needed aid to millions of hungry people: donations promised by the international community have not yet been made.

Famine and chronic hunger

Famines are acute food crises, usually after drought or due to armed conflict. Famine is the worst form of food shortage. In addition to old people, babies and small children are especially threatened by starvation. According to the United Nations definition (Integrated Food Security Phase Classification), there is a famine if at least:

20% of households suffer from extreme food shortages,

30% of the population is acutely malnourished; and

Two out of every 10,000 people, or four children, die daily from food shortages.



One of the worst hunger crises of the past 25 years was the famine in East Africa in 2011/12. In war-torn Somalia, 260,000 people starved to death, including 133,000 children under the age of five.

Chronic Hunger in Sub-Saharan Africa


Sub-Saharan Africa is also a hotbed of chronic hunger due to extreme poverty. According to the FAO definition, people suffer from chronic hunger if their daily energy intake for an extended period of time is below what they would need for a healthy and active life. The lower limit is an average of 1,800 calories per day.

According to this measure: 226.7 million people are starving in Africa. The countries most affected by extreme poverty and hunger in Africa are mainly those located south of the Sahara. One in four people suffers from hunger there, which means the share of the world’s hungry is highest in sub-Saharan Africa.

In the sub-Saharan region, 40% to 50% of people live below the poverty line, meaning they have a daily income that is, on average, below $1.25. This means that sub-Saharan Africa, along with southern Asia, is one of the poorest regions in the world.

Malnutrition and high infant mortality


Children are particularly affected by the hunger crisis in Africa. There are far too many starving kids in Africa, and every single affected kid is one too many. Malnutrition leads to physical and mental development delays and disorders, and is a major cause of high infant mortality rates in sub-Saharan Africa.

According to UN data: 165 million children worldwide are too small for their age, or stunted, due to chronic malnutrition. Three-quarters of these children live in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia. In sub-Saharan Africa, 40% of children are affected; in South Asia, 39%.

Child mortality: 3.2 million children under the age of 5 die each year in sub-Saharan Africa – that’s about half of the world's deaths in this age group.

Worldwide, nearly every second death in children under the age of five is due to malnutrition. As this weakens the immune system, diseases such as pneumonia, malaria, or diarrhea often lead to death.

The sub-Saharan child mortality rate is one of the highest in the world, with one in nine children dying before the age of 5. In Sierra Leone, one in every six children dies before the age of 5. Especially young children die in Nigeria and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

Hunger and food scarceness in Africa: Causes


The reasons for the widespread hunger and food scarcity in Africa are complex. Contrary to popular belief, it’s not primarily due to a lack of agricultural productivity or difficult climatic conditions. Sub-Saharan Africa has millions of hectares of fertile soil. The African continent could feed itself. However, several factors prevent self-sufficiency and success in the fight against hunger in Africa:

Population growth: In sub-Saharan Africa, the population is growing rapidly, but food production is not keeping pace.

Unfair trading structures: The EU and US subsidize domestic agriculture, making it difficult for African farmers to compete with cheap food imports.

Debt trap and mismanagement: The high level of indebtedness of many African countries, along with poor governance and corruption, blocks economic development. Mass poverty and hunger are the consequences.

Diseases: The AIDS epidemic, malaria, and other diseases limit agricultural productivity and take breadwinners from their families.

Armed conflicts: Africa has more than its share of conflict zones. Most wars in the world rage south of the Sahara. Refugee crises and hunger are often by-products of these conflicts.
