Help Us Sustain the Escola da Esperança Project

We are reaching out because the future of our beloved Escola da Esperança Project depends on finding a broader circle of support.

Tamera is in a financial crisis and a major restructuring process, and we are not sure how to sustain the project through the coming months. We therefore need your support now for the coming school year.

For more than a decade, this learning project has provided a rich and supportive environment for more than 80 children from Tamera and the region. Today, the project welcomes children aged 1 to 11.

Our children have been accompanied through some of the most important years of their lives. Besides academic learning, it is a place of friendship, creativity, exploration, practical learning and connection with nature. One of our treasures is the social education we offer: children learn to work in teams, manage conflicts and stay open-minded. They grow with cultural awareness, curiosity about the wider world and the experience that they can contribute something meaningful to it.

Until now, much of the financial support that made this possible has come from within the Tamera community. Because of the current financial crisis and restructuring process, we can no longer rely on the same level of internal support.

This fundraising campaign is intended to cover the immediate gap, while giving us the time to develop a more stable financial concept for the project. Our aim is for the home-schooling project to stand on broader shoulders in the future – with ongoing support from families, a wider circle of external friends, sponsors and donors, as well as the Tamera community. As part of this, we also want to continue strengthening the solidarity that makes it possible for families with limited resources to participate.

To keep the Escola da Esperança Project alive and stable, we are now starting to raise funds that will carry us until August 2027. Our aim is to raise around €160,000 for this period, which breaks down to approximately €11,000 per month.
