Hope Health Action are passionate about engaging children in the issues we’re tackling. Becoming one of our partner schools is a great way to encourage social awareness and responsibility among children from a young age, as they learn about the issues of inequality and understand how they can support our work.
Education for refugee children is part of HHA’s emergency response to the humanitarian crisis in East Africa. An entire generation of South Sudanese children, displaced by conflict, are at risk of losing their education which is vital to rebuilding their lives and escaping poverty. Teachers in refugee settlements regularly teach classes of over 350 children under trees and without resources. We want to change this and are supporting refugee-led school development and education projects.
Together we can make a difference.
WAYS WE CAN WORK TOGETHER
We want to work with your school in a unique and inspiring way. Our team will work with you to develop an inspiring and successful partnership, providing dedicated support and guidance to ensure a partnership with HHA works for your students and aligns with their educational programme.
Our school partnerships include a range of activity such as:
- Charity of the Year - a number of schools have selected HHA as their annual charity partner and undertake fundraising to support our work
- School twinning - a unique opportunity to link with Amazing Grace school in BidiBidi refugee settlement, Uganda and build a relationship between children and teachers
- Donations of equipment - items such as pencils, notepads, chalk and books are always needed at our partner school
- School Events - host your own event such as a raffle, bake sale or fete to fundraise for HHA
- HHA Events - take part in one of HHA’s annual fundraising events, such as International Superhero Day!
Each year, to coincide with Refugee Week, HHA holds an interactive exhibition highlighting the experiences of the refugees we support in Uganda who have fled the conflict in their home country of South Sudan. We can provide tailored experiences for school groups wishing to visit this exhibition and can discuss opportunities to bring this unique experience into schools.
Why partner with us?
Partnering your school or university with HHA is a great way to inspire social awareness among young minds. Your school's fundraising efforts can be focussed on Amazing Grace, our partner school in BidiBidi refugee settlement in Uganda or Maison De Benediction, our respite care centre for children with disabilities in Haiti - or both!
Students will learn about the challenges facing students in Uganda and children with disabilities in Haiti. They will have the chance to make a life-changing impact through fundraising. We offer your students the opportunity to learn, connect with and transform the future of other children.
As a partner of HHA, you will help us change lives.
In return, we can provide resources for your school such as education packs, posters, newsletters and regular, personalised updates from children in Uganda and Haiti. HHA has a group of inspiring UK speakers who can share more about our work through educational talks for your students.
HHA also provides opportunities for students* to spend time volunteering in Uganda or Haiti as part of their education programme or gap year. They will have the opportunity to make a direct impact on our projects in-country and we will ensure they have a safe, enjoyable and productive trip. These trips are often a life changing experience, offering students an opportunity to develop life-long transferable skills and the chance to make a life-changing impact.
