Meet the New Teachers and Caregivers
At Handspun Hope, we have always believed that transformation begins with holistic care—meeting both physical and emotional needs. As our mission has grown to include the youngest children of the women we employ, we are thrilled to share about an exciting step forward: the addition of new caregivers and university-educated teachers to our staff!
Why This Matters
The women of Handspun Hope work hard to provide for their children, but for many years, safe and reliable childcare was out of reach. With the opening of the Handspun Hope Early Education Center, we created a nurturing space where their children are not only cared for but also prepared for primary school.
Now, with the addition of trained caregivers and highly qualified teachers, these children are receiving the love, attention, and education they deserve during the most critical years of their development.
The Heart of Care
Our caregivers provide more than supervision. They create a warm and secure environment where each child feels seen, safe, and valued. For little ones who are just beginning to explore the world, this emotional support is just as essential as the food they eat or the lessons they learn.

“As a mother of four children, it gives me great joy to be with kids. I like the way Handspun Hope puts more effort into the early childhood of our children; it is a great heritage they are giving these little angels. On my first day, when I went home, my whole night was about dreaming about the kids I met in my class.”
The Gift of Education
Our university-educated teachers bring professional expertise in child development, innovative teaching methods, and a passion for nurturing curiosity and creativity. Each day, they lead children through songs, stories, and hands-on activities that lay the foundation for success in school and in life.
