Project Update - A New Beginning in Our New School
By Mariana Fischer | Hai Africa Founder
We’re so excited to share the latest updates from Hai Africa!
- Our Babies Are in Their New School!
On January 8th, we officially opened the doors of our brand-new school, and our 100 little ones — our "babies" — began their classes in this beautiful new space. This was a dream come true, built with love, dedication, and the support of people like you!
- A Powerful Start to the Year
Throughout February and March, our team was fully present at the Hai Centre. It was an incredible time filled with growth, connection, and lots of learning.
- Volunteers, Training & New Routine
We welcomed volunteers, trained new staff members, and established a full routine for 100 children in early childhood education. Our team embraced every challenge with heart and commitment.
- Sustainability in Action
We now have a compost system! Our team received training and is now enthusiastically composting — excited to start producing natural fertilizer for our garden.
- Play, Movement & Well-being
Our babies now have a beautiful grassy area to play freely, bringing even more joy to their school days. And our PP2 class (5–6-year-olds) has started yoga classes twice a week, promoting mindfulness and body awareness from an early age.
- Art for Expression
We hosted workshops in collage and analogue photography with our primary school teens, encouraging creative expression and building self-confidence.
- Empowering Women Through Employmen
Our “mamas” — local women supported by Hai and project tres— completed a 20-day training to become professional cleaners. This opens new opportunities for income and independence, and we are so proud of their dedication!
And last but not least… Hai Africa is turning 10!
What a joy it is to celebrate a decade of commitment, community, and transformation.
We hope this is just the beginning — may the next 10 years be even more impactful!
None of this would be possible without your support. Thank you for walking with us and believing in a future filled with education, dignity, and hope. The Hai Africa journey continues — and it’s more vibrant than ever!
With love and gratitude,
Hai Africa Team

Hai Africa news

Hi Donors, Happy New Year! I am writing to share some exciting news about our work at Hai Africa. First, I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to all of you once again. It’s truly inspiring to see your generosity in supporting our children. With your help, we are making a significant difference in the lives of the kids in Kabiria. In November 2024, we held our graduation and celebration party for the children. Although we host graduations every year, this one was particularly special as it was the first held in our NEW SCHOOL! It’s hard to believe we now have a beautiful, well-lit school, and for 2025, we are thrilled to report that we will have: - 100 kids in our kindergarten - 110 kids enrolled in primary school Additionally, we are forming new partnerships and introducing courses for both kids and adults, which we will share more details about later. We are delighted to announce these numbers because they represent the bright futures of the children you support. They are receiving nutritious meals, studying, and playing in an environment that many children dream of. If you have any questions about our work or if you’re interested in helping in different ways, please don’t hesitate to reach out. If you would like to visit us or are interested in volunteering, our next Hai Experience will take place in November 2025. Asante Sana!

Hi, Donors.
I am writing this email to share our latest news and the upcoming plans for our NGO. I am getting ready to travel to Hai, which will be an important and amazing trip as our construction project is nearing completion. It's hard to believe that our dream of building a beautiful school for our kids is finally coming true. We are incredibly grateful to all the people who donated to our campaign, "New School."
I also want to express our gratitude to those who donate every month. Your support is what enables us to continue our work. Our goal for next year is to accommodate more than 30 kids but to achieve that, we need more sponsors, so we are actively working on securing more support.
We recently ran a campaign on our Instagram account, so we have secured sponsors for all the primary kids. By 2025, we anticipate having 110 kids enrolled in the primary school. It's truly amazing!
That's all for now. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out.
