A mini project is a project at GlobalGiving that is a side project from a main project, whichs runs for 90 days.

We have started a new (continuous) edition of a educational project for Violeth, called 'Let Violeth become a Tour Guide by Education II'.
https://www.globalgiving.org/microprojects/let-violeth-become-a-tour-guide-by-education-ii/

She started in February 2026 the 2 years education program for Tour Guide at The Help to Self Help Vocational Training College in Arusha, Tanzania.

This is a NGO also, where student can learn a variety in courses. Look at https://hsh.or.tz/ for more information. Violeth lives too far from this school to attend a daily course, so she will be intern with clothes, meals and hostel, so she can interact with other students and has enough time to study in the evening and she can attend special events.

The first mini project received $180 dollars, but we need at least $1,000 a year so we hope more generous donors think of Violeth in the upcoming July Bonus day on 15 July on the GG platform.

Hy dear Friends & Donors, every time we receive new funding in a project we search for the best way to make the most impact. Sometimes it takes some time to reach enough funds to execute, but in the Wildlife Conservation project we are already on our next milestone.

Recently we visited the Tanzania Wildlife Authority (Northern Zone Office), which serves as an anti-poaching unit covering four regions: Arusha, Tanga, Kilimanjaro, and Manyara. The unit plays a vital role in combating poaching and protecting natural resources.

On behalf of DHF, we were able to donate 16 pairs of gumboots to support the rangers in their daily conservation efforts. The team expressed their sincere appreciation for this contribution, noting that it acknowledges and supports their commitment to protecting wildlife.

Mr. Okode, the Anti-Poaching Officer, together with Ms. Rachel Nkuni, extended their heartfelt gratitude to DHF for the generous support and warmly welcomed future visits whenever the opportunity arises.

When we were at the Themi Primary School for the Menstrual Health Education last week, we also distributed school supplies using the generous donation we received this year.

We were able to purchase 600 exercise books and 240 pencils, which were given to the pupils to support their studies. The teachers, students, and local government officials expressed their sincere appreciation for his support. 🙏

During our visit, we met a visually impaired girl student who is performing very well in her studies. The teachers shared that she lost her sight a few years ago after an incidence, involving juice that affected her eyes. She is in need of specialized medical treatment. In the meantime, the school is doing its best to support her by ensuring she has a fellow student to assist her during school hours.

Last week we visited the Themi Primary School in Arusha for the Menstrual Health Education project. In collaboration with Reepads Sanitary products and in attendence of the Ward Councilor, Mr. Kinabo, we educated 233 girls between 10 and 15 years.

The initiative aims to empower young girls with knowledge on menstrual health, promote self-awareness, and provide sustainable menstrual hygiene solutions.

The program involved an interactive learning session led by the facilitators, where girls were encouraged to actively participate, ask questions, and share their experiences. The safe and open environment allowed meaningful discussions and improved understanding of menstrual health.

In addition to the educational session, 110 girls received REEpads reusable sanitary pads, along with guidance on proper use, care, cleaning, and maintenance.

The choice by Destiny Hope Foundation to support reusable sanitary pads form REEPads, not only addresses menstrual health challenges, but also reflects a responsible and forward-thinking approach to environmental care.

We had a visitor from Kenya/The Netherlands who is staying Kenya at the moment. He was a teacher on sustainable agriculture, so we were happy that he also inspected the new compost heap of Mrs Mary and the field plots that were enriched with home made compost manure last year. This was from the first F2F education by Mr Solomon, an agriculture officer, who is our main agricultural teacher for our projects.

Kees van Veluw, our special guest was very pleased with the progress that the farmer had made from making their own compost heaps and working with this material in the field of maize. He told about common agricultural methods that would reduce pesticides and needs less fertilizer.

After his trip he made a report for DHF about the possible improvements in agriculture and is trying to return to us in the summer for some teachings to farmers. We hope he will.

Mr. Solomon is preparing a new F2F project in another village this Summer/Autumn, so the compost will be ready for the next planting season.

If would like to support this visits of Mr. Kees while he is in Kenya, you can support him with a donation on our soil project here: https://www.globalgiving.org/projects/nourish-tanzania-fertile-soil-flourishing-future/

Hi dear friends & donors, we have exiting news about the goatproject, because the first goat kid has been born! 🥳

The other 3 goats in this project are still pregnant, but will deliver soon we hope. The dairy goat project was initiated as a pilot program with 4 dairy goats in Mareu Village, Kwa Filipo sub-village on October 2025. The pilot group comprises 20 members, who are collectively working to improve household income and nutrition through sustainable dairy goat farming.

According to the project model, the first and second offspring (kids) from each goat will be passed on to new members, while the original goats remain with the initial farmers. This “pass-on” system ensures sustainability, inclusivity, and the gradual expansion of benefits to the wider community.

In the first phase, hopefully 8 new goats will be distributed to new members. As the project progresses, the first and second generations of kids (a total of 16) will also be given to additional members.

We have exiting news about Violeth, the girl we support in her education. She recent graduated from secondary school and this week she started a 2 years education program for Tour Guide at The Help to Self Help Vocational Training College in Arusha, Tanzania.

This is a NGO also, where student can learn a variety in courses. Violeth lives too far from this school to attend a daily course, so she will be intern with clothes, meals and hostel, so she can interact with other students and has enough time to study in the evening and she can attend special events.

Pendaeli Amos Musani has agreed to support her after she graduates from this cours in the way that she can start an internship at Destination Specialists to gain expierience.

For this course we search additional funding, like $2,000 for the comming 2 years. Peter de Laat and his wife agreed to basic support, but more help would be very appreciated by Violeth, so she has no worries for completing this course, other than study hard. 😀

More informatie on the GlobalGiving micro project website below, and think about this project at the Little by Little campaign, 17-20 March.

We are supporting Violeth since she was in secundairy school. Coming from a poor family she was held in the house doing the household with her grandmother, but having greater dreams. After graduating last year we searched for a place where she can grow further and we found a school where she started...

Yesterday we had the pleasure of visiting representatives from four villages - Shishton, Muungano, Mbaaseny, and Ngajisosia, who gathered at the Makilenga office to receive donated water pipe rolls. A total of 32! rolls were distributed based on the specific needs and current situations of each village, as outlined below:
1. Shishton Village – 2 rolls
2. Muungano Village – 13 rolls
3. Mbaaseny Village – 11 rolls
4. Ngajisosia Village – 6 rolls

The village representatives expressed their sincere gratitude for the support. The women, in particular, shared their appreciation, noting that the improved access to water will significantly reduce the long distances they and their children previously traveled to fetch water. This will allow women to dedicate more time to their income-generating activities, while children will have more time to focus on their studies after school hours.

Village leaders, Pastors and the Makilenga Water Project office management also conveyed their deep appreciation for your continued efforts to help alleviate water challenges across the five wards, comprising 22 villages. They kindly requested your ongoing support as they work toward achieving sustainable solutions to their water supply challenges.
