Hoopers Africa Trust (HAT) is a charity founded by wildlife photographer Roger Hooper, to transform the lives of  disadvantaged girls in Kenya.

Young girls in rural areas have little opportunity for secondary education, university would be just a dream especially if they have lost a parent or are orphaned. Strong cultural influences mean that girls are held in low esteem, may be forced into early marriage and subjected to female genital mutilation (FGM). Hoopers Africa Trust aims to bring hope to some of the most neglected and vulnerable of these young women.

To date HAT has funded more than two hundred girls through secondary education and more than twenty five girls have gone on to complete university education.
