HAU Activities Hope Alive Primary
Hope Alive Primary: education to empower the community

Hope Alive Primary is one of HAU activities aimed at empowering the community. It has been realized that lack of education is one of the most dangerous and rampant causes of  extreme poverty in Sub-Saharan Africa.

"Education is not a way to escape poverty - It is a way of fighting it."
Julius Nyerere, former President of the United Republic of Tanzania said.

Poor children have numerous disadvantages in relation to their better-off counterparts. They are usually less healthy, their language skills less developed (a factor that has negative influence on school achievement), and they are generally less well equipped - socially, emotionally and physically - to undertake a school programme. If their disadvantaged position and different day-to-day experiences are not taken into account by school education, it is no wonder that they are unable to benefit fully from the school system.

In an attempt to meet the Millennium Development Goal Two (MDG2) of education for all, HAU is working on putting up a primary school where children can get free or relatively cheap and standard education. This school project shall start in 2010 with the building of a block of 4 classrooms where the first lot of the children to be enrolled shall study in, an administration block, the latrines and urinals for proper hygiene and sanitation of the pupils and the teachers. Being a nursery and primary school, the first lot shall comprise of nursery kids who shall lower, middle and upper class of the nursery section and the other 1 block remaining for primary one as construction of other classrooms shall be going on.

Qualified teachers are going to be recruited to run and manage the school activities and the performance of the pupils. There payment shall be based on the money fund-raised by the organization through other income generating activities like the chicken project, craft shop, and apiculture (bee keeping).
