A Better Future For Young Children

Welcome to HOPE worldwide South Africa

At HOPE worldwide South Africa, we are passionate about giving every child the best possible start in life. Guided by our vision to see a South Africa where every young and vulnerable child has this opportunity, we focus on early childhood development (ECD) as the foundation for lifelong growth.

Our mission is to transform the lives of young and vulnerable children, their families, and communities through compassion, collaboration, and capacity. Central to our work is the Nurturing Care Framework, which emphasizes the importance of health, nutrition, safety, responsive caregiving, and early learning in a child’s earliest years.

By creating nurturing and playful environments and equipping families with the tools they need, we empower children to learn, grow, and thrive.

We focus on getting everything every child deserves so that they can just focus on being kids…

Parent Support

Did you know that young children need at least 8 hugs a day? The home is the most influential learning and growing environment during a child’s earliest years. By starting in the home, we can create holistic change. Through our Parent Support Groups (PSG’s), We teach parents in disadvantaged communities who can’t afford to take their young children to school how to nurture, educate and stimulate their children from home…
