Our dynamic and diverse team consists of a multinational group of volunteers and paid staff
There is Hope works with an incredible group of talented, passionate people who are devoted to the cause. Our vision has always been to train and involve people from the local community and refugees from Dzaleka camp. We want to see more enthusiastic people develop their skills, helping others and making a difference in the local community. At There is Hope, we aim to increase our paid staff, giving people income and dignity but we also rely on the generous contribution of our volunteers. We want you to see the people behind the work here, the beautiful faces of so many incredibly good people.
