Our Profile

Project Hope is a non-profit missionary-based humanitarian association consisting of individuals who dedicate their full-time to voluntary work, using our abilities to the fullest in service to others. We are non-salaried volunteers who are dedicated to the common goal of spreading God’s love and improving people’s lives.

Our Mission: Our mission is to enhance the quality of life for all members of the community, especially those who are poor, suffering, or disadvantaged. We invest in today’s children—the leaders of tomorrow—by providing knowledge and character-building education and guidance to help strengthen them, their parents and their communities.

We have found that love for our fellowman has to be shown in a tangible way. Ours therefore is a mission of love, to help those in need by whatever means available to us, be it material (clothing, feeding, medical, education) or spiritual (a helping hand, word of encouragement or a listening ear and strengthening their faith in a God Who loves and cares for them). We believe in preaching the Gospel and distribute a large amount and wide variety of faith-building and life-changing publications to those who thirst and hunger after righteousness.

Education, Training and Development: In all of our programs, training and education is the central element. Our greatest commitment is to invest in the future by doing all we can to help teach and train today’s children, by conducting AIDS awareness seminars, character building, preventative health awareness, Christian children’s curriculum and more. We organize training seminars, workshops and development courses in areas such as parent/teacher training, youth motivation, community project implementation, Christian leadership training programs, and Bible studies groups. etc…

Medical Aid Project: During the year 2006, thanks to a grant received from Family Care Foundation (http://www.familycare.org/), we conducted a pilot project with 15 AIDS patients of the “IKHAYA LOBOMI” AIDS hospice, sponsoring their lab tests and medication. Out of 15 patients, 4 got healed and 5 are on their way to recovery.

Children’s Support Project: We have organized numerous projects in orphanages, AIDS hospice and schools throughout Kwazulu Natal and have started a project in Kisenso, Kinshasa with 98 orphaned children. These include the distribution of items and supplies sorely needed in these institutions such as food supplies, educational equipment and clothing in an attempt to raise the standard and better the conditions for children’s development and education. Thanks to the donations of local businesses and a small grant from Family Care Foundation, we were able to build a basket ball court for Khulane Khale children’s home in 2006, and living quarters for the girls in 2007.

Our Support: We are a self-supporting non-profit work made possible by the generous help of individuals and companies interested in helping to make this world a better place and supporting a voluntary effort such as ours!

Thank you for your support. God bless you.

What's up with our mission center in Pretoria?

Project Hope September News--Advancing Local Missionary work

God bless you! First of all, we want to apologize for the long delay in sending out this newsletter. A lot of wonderful things have happened in the last months. However, as Matthew 9:37 says: " The harvest truly is plenteous, but the laborers are few. " There's so much that has to be done and, thanks to your support, is getting done. Beside holding our regular HIV/AIDS seminars and building the house for the orphanage we have started a brand new project. In the next 12 months or so, we want to donate 56 "vegetable tunnels" that will feed 700 children, throughout the whole year, in the rural area of Molweni. In this newsletter we'll shed some more light on this exciting project...
At the Emolweni Junior and Senior Primary School we taught 500 students who were extremely well behaved and receptive to our warning message of HIV/AIDS. After our seminar we prayed together with all of the 500 learners. This school is so poor that we are thinking of donating some vegetable tunnels to them. Then the needy students' families could receive some donated food that will have grown on the school premises.

Our vision is to help the "Kulani Kahle" Children's Home plus other orphanages, poor families and rural area schools to become self sufficient, as far as food is concerned, by teaching them to grow vegetables in tunnels.

Food that is grown in these vegetable tunnels is productive for 6 to 7 months ongoing. Vegetables in these tunnels are largely protected against climatic extremes as well as free from insect attack and other forms of degradation.

The tunnels are 9m x 4m in size and are manufactured of plastic pipe and 40% density shade cloth. They are supplied complete with everything needed to start. This includes all the necessary minerals and either spinach or tomato plants, brinjals, beans, cabbages, etc... And the wonderful news is that no running water or good soil is needed as they grow in saw-dust.

With eight of these tunnels, if managed properly, 100 people can be fed throughout the year. The price of a tunnel, at present, is 2,500 rand (about $ 357). The turnover out of the tunnel is approximately 8 times as much as it would be in an open garden.

All these positive attributes have contributed to the fact that we have decided to train the underprivileged and destitute people of the rural community of Molweni how to grow their own food. However, this initiative should not stop with this particular community, but it is also intended to reach other poor areas of Durban in the near future.

AID Seminar in school in rural area

We just held our first AID seminar for 700 children ages 7 to 14 in a rural school in Mobewi. At first, we had planned to aim at teenagers, but the school principal urged us to start with a younger age group, as she said these children were already affected and needed to be made aware of the dangers they were facing and taught how to make knowledgeable decisions.
We used the "Focus on the Family" program and adapted it for that age group, using interactive activities that caught the kids attention and participation.
All of the children also prayed with us to receive the One Who can truly help them to live in a godly way and stay free of AIDS, Jesus.
We are planning to hold such seminars on a monthly basis, and will reach teenagers next time.
