One of the dreams of Hope 4 Help and our Manager Mr. Kenneth from the very start was to start a Day High School. Most often children would have to travel to boarding schools away from their families and at a higher cost than most families could afford. So simply, most children would not go to secondary school.

Most often children would have to travel to boarding schools away from their families and at a higher cost than most families could afford. So simply, most children would not go to secondary school.
THAT HAS CHANGED!
We now have DAY High School in the village just about to get its government registration which means the government will support it, but it won't be enough. With the funds we've raised, money was given to build the toilets and for the new textbooks. Thank you!

Founded in 2006, "Hope 4 Help" has always believed in "Feeding the Hopes & Dreams" of the children at Baharini Primary School. Inflation has hit every corner of this planet, and we are no different. Instead of rice & beans, the children now receive maize (corn) & beans. It's just as filling and more cost effective in today's world. The children still bring their own containers, and the parents are now responsible for the cooking oil, salt, firewood and payment of one cook.

Our little corner of the world is made up of dedicated individuals who are passionate about making a difference in their world. The SILC Treasure Gate Academy is made up of 65 students and 6 teachers who often go unpaid but still show up everyday. They are just trying to raise up their community. Your donations paid for a month's salary for the teachers of this lower income community school and textbooks for one class. We are happy to support the dreams of even more children because of your generousity.

GET A PIECE, GIVE A PIECE
Too often humans take a piece of the world and forget to give back. Our mission is to encourage humans to think of others, AND the world around them. To begin designing this movement, you as customers are getting a piece of the world that we have given a second chance through ART, and we are then making sure to give a greater piece back. This piece will be represented by planting trees, removing garbage or donating to Hope 4 Help...and YOU get to choose what PIECE we give back
THE TRIO OF CHAMPIONS
Miia, Ruby and Kati are the designers behind World Piece, and are excited to bring their individual talents to the table. Kati is the digital art designer and photographer who can create any custom piece. Ruby puts her own spin on Tic Tac Toe and helps keep the trio running behind the scenes, while Miia - the mastermind behind it all - has honed her talent for wood burning and decided it was time to give back by creating ART that gives BACK.
2019 - In The News - The Fork in the Road Festival
BEHIND "THE FORK IN THE ROAD FESTIVAL"
Local Elora residents Nancy Harper and Doog Farquhar have supported "Hope 4 Help" for many years with their creative trivia nights. Then they visualized an All Day Music Festival highlighting local bands from the Elora/Guelph area all to support Hope 4 Help...and The Fork in the Road Festival 2018 was born! With the idea that in life we all come to a "fork in the road" where we can choose two different paths to take in life, choosing the path to help and be kind always leads you in the right direction. In 2019 their kindness continued with ticket sales supporting Mental Health for Youth through the Cody Shepperd Project and Big Brothers Big Sisters of Centre Wellington. "Hope 4 Help" was still be there, manning the Wine Bar with Sports Somm Matthew Cauz from TSN & Raffle for Complimentary Travel Passes from Porter Airlines.
