HopeCare organization was initiated in 2008 by three young motivated individuals (Paul Wilson, Moses Elifuraha and Nancy Purkin) who were inspired to contribute towards government efforts on poverty reduction. The organization started as a social group to help the most vulnerable groups in Arusha region. Through own monthly contributions by the founders, we managed to provide support to poor families and orphanage centres in Arusha municipality (mostly food, clothes and school fees support). All of these efforts were in line to HopeCare signature which is “Easing the Pain of poverty among the vulnerable communities”.

In 2010, based on the growing demand and an inspiration to continue serving the community in a more meaningful way; the first meeting was held with a main agenda of formalizing the registration of the organization so that it can secure more funding in order to reach the wide community in a very strategic manner. As a result, on 5th of March 2012, HopeCare was formally registered under the Societies Ordinance as a nongovernmental organization with registration number 00NGO/00005291 through which it continued to excel and expand its operations focusing on the following program interventions; Economic Empowerment, Education, Health, Human Rights and Advocacy.

Since then, with collaborative efforts of other development partners; HopeCare has managed to impact the lives of the most vulnerable communities in variety of ways as detailed below:
