God’s love for orphans took us to South Africa.
We Believe God’s Heart for Orphans is Global.
Since 2015, we have worked with a community and, leader Elphas Shabangu, near Paul Kruger Gate in South Africa in a township called Huntington. WE are developing a community center along with supporting many of the 120 children in a local orphanage in sponsorships. Every year in November we bring leadership to this community by aiding in the development of life skills to help them fulfill their dreams.
Millions of children worldwide, including South African communities, face a devastating reality: abandonment and neglect.
These vulnerable young lives lack the basic necessities of food, shelter, and clothing. Most importantly, they are deprived of the love and support of a family.
Imagine a childhood without the comfort of a loving home, the security of parents, or the ability to dream of a brighter future. This heartbreaking situation is faced by countless children across the globe..
Why South Africa?
The Plight of Orphans in South Africa:
A staggering 14% of children in South Africa – 2.9 million in 2020 – have lost one or both parents. This leaves them facing immense challenges:
Limited access to essential resources: Many lack quality education, healthcare, and opportunities for a brighter future.
Financial and emotional hardship: Without parental support, they struggle to meet basic needs and cope with the loss.
Lack of guidance and support: These children often miss out on crucial life skills development and emotional well-being.
This is where Hope 4 Kids steps in.
