Hearts of Hope

Hearts of Hope is a Non-Profit Organisation (NPO) and Non Profit Company (NPC) that strives to enhance the lives of orphaned, abandoned and  vulnerable children in our care through quality individual care and development, allowing them to have a childhood. Hearts of Hope has been in operation since 2003, having begun as a group of volunteers in 1997. We pride ourselves in our strong governance procedures and operating systems.  At our home in Wendywood, Johannesburg we care for 52 children at any one time aged between birth and 18 years old. Since 2003, 306 children have lived in the home. The last few years have seen 14-16 children leave annually to be reunited with family or to be adopted. Meeting the needs of BBBEE legislation : As a non profit organisation, where 100% of our beneficiaries are Black African children, Hearts of Hope qualifies as a Level 1 in terms of Socio-Economic Development. Our subsidiary organisation, our Early Childhood Development (ECD) Centre – Wendywood Development Centre - qualifies as a Level 1 in terms of Enterprise Development.
