Teaching people how to fish

HOPE Africa worked in partnership with the Black Sash to provide Happy, healthy Me – an interactive workbook to children in ECD centres.
Happy, healthy Me is a short and fun way for young kids to be introduced to the Constitution, their socio-economic rights, and their food rights. The book also teaches young children how to start a food garden, how to cook easy recipes, and where some of their food comes from! The book comes in both a full colour and colouring book version. The children will have lots of fun learning about different food types, how to plant food and even how to make simple, delicious meals with the help of their parents or older siblings.
We hope the book inspires our little ones to start their own vegetable patches at home and grow their own food.
We were also able to donate wet bags donated by UCT Sports Department.
God bless

Food preparation
Mr and Mrs Duncan of Rocklands in Mitchell’s Plain are heroes in their local community! Every Thursday the Duncan Feeding Scheme prepare a wholesome meal for up to 400 people in their community. Mrs Duncan is a teacher at the local high school and she has a big heart for her learners and her community. We have previously reported how she assisted in providing shoes for young people under her care.
HOPE Africa partnered with the Duncan feeding scheme to provide meals to the 400 people. It was a joy to be part of this amazing work. We thank all our donors for helping us to lend a hand to the feeding scheme.
As HOPE Africa we trust that we can rely on your continued support to keep soup kitchens such as the Duncan Feeding Scheme running as entire communities across Southern Africa rely on angels such as these to provide in their daily need.
God bless!

Three-hundred homes were gutted in a devastating fire that ripped through the Joe Slovo informal settlement in Langa, Cape Town, on 16 April 2022, leaving about 1 200 people displaced. There was a huge need to assist residents with essentials to keep warm, eat and rebuild.
HOPE Africa in partnership with the Makgoba Development Trust and Motsepe foundation set up a relief package to provide some of the much-needed supplies. Blankets, two-plate gas stoves, gas cylinders and toiletries were bought and donated to residents identified as most vulnerable. The handover event was graced by Archbishop Thabo Makgoba as he celebrated the 32nd anniversary of his ordination on Pentecost Sunday, he broke away from his sabbatical leave to oversee the handover. A lot of effort was put into organizing and setting up the supplies for the handover. HOPE Africa staff were part of the manual labour involved in heavy lifting of the supplies.
Without your contributions, HOPE Africa would not have been able to be part of this relief effort. Residents were very grateful and even smiled for the first time in a very long time. We appreciate your continued support and hope that you will be blessed with more.
