VISION
A society that is socially, mentally, and economically empowered; Educated and able to cope with and overcome issues affecting poverty within the marginalized community of Shibanze.
MISSION STATEMENT
To be a transparent learning organization that uses cultural and gender sensitive strategies to mobilize, encourage and enable the community; Encouraging appropriate health-seeking behaviors and promoting a socially and economically sound community through education and training in income generating activities.
ORGANIZATIONAL MAIN OBJECTIVE
To prove sustainable support services in alleviating poverty and bettering living standards of all members of the community through the development of strategies and initiatives at a grass roots level within the community.
ANNALS OF THE GROUP
The organization was officially registered in 2008, although pre-existing programs were previously underway. The organization is registered in the Western Province of Kenya, Mumias District, Matungu Division in Khalaba sub-location. The land was acquired and programs were started by international volunteers as early as 2006 and have slowly grown since. In 2008 one past volunteer returned to find the previous management system deteriorating which is when Tumaini Community Development Centre officially opened in order to correct the problem. Tumaini Community Development Centre is collectively run by two directors as well as 13 members of the community. It is a community project, run by the community, for the community.
ANTICIPATED RESULTS
We anticipate a self reliant future generation. Through the education and training of the community, especially youth, women, orphans, and those suffering due to the ongoing HIV/AIDS epidemic, we believe that it is possible to see today’s impoverished become tomorrow’s successful leaders. We believe that these groups of people can lead the community as a whole to social and economic sustainability.
