About

Home of Hope is a non-profit organisation that cares for abused and abandoned children in South Africa.

We do so because we believe that every child has the right to reach their full potential.  

Our work has a special focus on those affected by Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD), which is permanent brain damage caused by pre-natal exposure to alcohol.

Home of Hope is uniquely structured to overcome the challenges of caring for children with emotional and learning disabilities, who require an approach that is tailored to their individual needs.

We provide a loving and stable home environment, we address the child’s emotional and therapeutic needs and also facilitate their schooling, be that in a mainstream or our special needs school, Amathemba - the first and only school in South Africa catering to children with FASD.

Our work has a long-term, sustainable impact by equipping children with essential life and social skills and encouraging their integration into the local community in which they live. For more information, please visit http://www.homeofhope.co.za/
