About
Across South Africa, many of our towns and cities are hurting. Declining services, unemployment, broken infrastructure, and loss of hope have become part of daily life.
For our founder, Matt Hogarty, this reality once led to frustration and constant complaining, until a moment that changed everything. One simple question from his young daughter cut through the negativity: “Why don’t you do something about it?”
That moment marked the beginning of Love Cities, a movement built on the belief that ordinary people, working together, can restore hope and rebuild their communities.
OUR VISION
To see a flourishing network of communities across South Africa, united, collaborative, and thriving.
OUR MISSION
