Welcome!
For over 20 years, we have been passionately committed to providing disadvantaged girls in Mali with access to education. Our many years of experience make us a reliable partner in the fight against educational inequality and for the realization of children’s rights.
Mali’s greatest treasure is its children – an enormous potential.
However, many girls are not allowed to go to school, either because their parents are illiterate, have not received a school education themselves and do not consider it necessary for their children, or because the girls have to work in the household or in the fields, look after younger siblings or may be married off at an early age.
As a result, school remains an unattainable dream for most girls. We at Häuser der Hoffnung e.V. want to change that. We support girls who are eager to learn and give them the chance to develop their talents. With school scholarships, training grants, and support for university studies, we open up new perspectives for them and accompany them on their way to a self-determined future.
The results of our work are impressive: educated women earn their own money, choose their own partners, marry later, send their children to school, and protect their daughters from genital mutilation. These positive changes have an impact beyond individual life stories and strengthen entire communities.
Our commitment is based on volunteer work. We guarantee that your donations will go directly to Mali. We are regularly on site to ensure that our projects are successfully implemented and that support goes exactly where it is needed.
Our projects are developed exclusively in close cooperation with our reliable partners in Mali. The well-being of the girls is our top priority. We listen to their needs, work with them on an equal footing, and together develop sustainable solutions that have a long-term impact on the ground.
Help us and get involved! With your support, you can help change lives, give hope, and break the cycle of poverty and hopelessness.
Houses of Hope – your support counts.

| Mali’s greatest wealth is its children, who make up half of the young population, an immense potential to help shape Mali’s future.
It is not easy to be a child in Mali. Every second girl in Mali is married off as a child. Married girls tend not to stay in school, are more likely to be victims of violence and have a higher risk of experiencing complications during pregnancy and childbirth. Child marriage often leads to separation from family and friends, which affects girls’ mental and physical well-being and limits their ability to participate fully in the development of their family, community and society. Mali has one of the highest rates of circumcision in the world: over three quarters of girls are affected. Many girls and boys in Mali are denied the opportunity to develop their talents because they do not have access to quality education, healthy nutrition and medical care. |
