Hampers of hope this holiday season

Thanks to your generous contributions we were able to purchase food items to support O.W.L. haven shelter. This shelter provides developmental services to street people. HOPE Africa has been working with the shelter for numerous years, and your contributions helps us to keep the shelter functional. The shelter currently houses sixty-five residents that otherwise would be out in the street. All gifts are truly appreciated by the shelter, and they always express how grateful they are for the support.

HOPE Africa’s strategy is to provide ongoing support as opposed to one time interventions.

Your generosity restores dignity. Your compassion rebuilds lives.

Thank you for standing with us.

South Africa is gripped in a Gender Based Violence and Femicide pandemic. In one year, more than 5 500 women were murdered. The rate is 6% higher than the global average. Family life is severely disrupted as children are equally vulnerable and suffer at the hands of perpetrators. It is very sad to note that the perpetrators are known to their victims, sometimes living in the same house.

HOPE Africa's Gender Based Violence and Femicide awareness programme aims to raise awareness in parishes and communities with the aim of drastically reducing the number of GBVF cases. This year alone, we reached out to over 700 individuals in parishes and communities. For the upcoming 16 Days of Activism - from 25 November to 10 December, all Dioceses will roll out action such as the red chair campaign, marches, placard demonstrations and talks on how the church can become involved in fighting GBVF. The aim is to reach more than 10 000 people

We have supported several children's homes and shelters for abused women through visits and distributing toiletry care packs, clothing and food. We thank you once again for your contributions that enabled us to reach 700 individuals directly this year and a further 10 000 indirectly before the end of the year.

God bless.
