Founded in June 2004, House of Hope started as a safe house for abandoned babies, but has greatly expanded in response to the needs of the community.

Twelve years later, and now an independent NPO, they run five well-established projects which all focus on investing in the lives and dreams of children.

In this house abandoned babies 0-18 months are housed until they are adopted, placed in permanent foster care, or returned to the family under social worker supervision. The project serves as a place of safety for these children. It works in close relation with the Department of Social Development and the Department of Health. It is open 24/7 and serves the community in all crisis situations.

Hope Kids

There are three foster homes which provide homes for 18 children aged 6-18 years. The organisation regards these children as their “forever families” and aims to see them develop and become independent members of society
