Great Hope Foundation
Developing leadership traits in our young generation is a potential investment in the future of our society. Participation of youth in community oriented social ventures, civic engagement or social activism is one of the avenues that GHF is exploring for youth leadership development. Community based activities provide youth the opportunity to explore identity, develop confidence, emotional skills, peer networks, leadership skills and collaboration/team work skills.
A young generation of Tanzanians, competent and committed with great potentials for leadership, needs an opportunity to exercise their imagination and bring ideas to reality. A creation of an environment that will facilitate the identification of leadership traits also nurture and promote the qualities of honesty, integrity, loyalty and respect for knowledge is probably the utmost priority needed to develop and capacitate our teens into great leaders of our future. Great Hope Foundation (GHF), hungers to work through structured in school and out-of-school clubs with these young people to explore their strengths and learn how they can make a difference for themselves and the community around through volunteerism. This will be acknowledged through UWEZO AWARD, a yearly event that will be organized by GHF to award the outstanding volunteering activities coming from youth. GHF is structuring this project so that apart from youth learning their identity will also develop leadership attributes within themselves.
Great Hope Foundation aims at integrating and motivating youths in various institutions and those at the local level to endeavor part of their time diligently, respectfully and bravely to offer services of helping others who are less advantaged than them. Not only that but also to come up with a way of addressing critical issues facing our communities with some practical solutions according to their capability.
