Achievements and performance

The main aim of the charity continues to be the support of children infected/affected by HIV/AIDS and the impact of poverty in the communities around the Port Shepstone area. We continue to support Rehoboth Children’s Village primarily through the sponsorship programme.

Increasingly our support is being directed towards Education & Training programmes in the community together with Feeding programmes through rural crèches. Our Leaver support budget for those leaving care is still a vital source of help towards Education & Training to those leaving Rehoboth care.

Our Income in 2024/25 (Aug/Sept) was £42076 , 2% more than last year. We have made grants of £36,854 ; expenses were £717 (1.75%. Web Host & Celebration Food) we were pleased with the result having lost some long term sponsors due to their falling income.

It has been a year of celebration as we moved through 20 years since we first registered the charity. We are close to reaching £1million since registration in 2004; (£934,917) although we are well beyond given our first visit was in 2001.

We had a thank you evening for our supporters in May, where more than 90 enjoyed an evening of South African food including Boerewors (S.A sausages) Milk Tart, Koeksisters, along with music and updates on what we have achieved over the years. Although we did not make it a fundraising evening donations totaled more than £1300.

Rehoboth Children’s Village We previously reported that Rehoboth is now only a Short-term care home, it never the less continues to be full. As a sponsored child leaves the village sponsors are invited to sponsor a house rather than a child. The village continues to be a warm loving home to 75 children. Our donations totaled £ 15,932 . We continue to have 40 or so faithful sponsors.

Outreach into the Community Khula

Our long-term relationship with Khula continues.100 plus children are registered in the Crèche, they continue to send out some 400 food parcels twice a week, and now have a SEN class, they also run after school programmes in and inhouse for the community, go into local schools and have a marimba band. £3233 was provided towards this amazing work during this fiscal.

Achievements and performance

Cornerstone Learning Centre

We have once again been able to provide a full bursary to Cornerstone Learning Centre, a school for children with SEN, and donated an additional £1500 towards outside Gym equipment for their Skills Centre for older students.

GenesisHope

The work of GenesisHope is across a range of projects; our focus is on Education & Training programmes in the rural community. It is the Outreach arm of Norwegian Settlers Church (our home church in SA) and we hope to be able to increase support during the next financial year. Grants totaled £6655

Vredenburg AOC Church I n the Western Cape their Kingdom Kids project, working with children from Informal Settlements (Squatter Camps,) has received donations of £1850 towards their work. The Pastors were W.E.C missionaries supporting us when we first arrived in S.A.

Leaver Support. Leaving the village and into the outside world is not only a strange environment but a challenging one. Finding place to live and a job, has for some has proved difficult. We have been able to support a number with grants for training, rent for rooms etc . £2895 in grants has been provided via our partner Greensparks Education. We are grateful to Alison Zikalala who manages this element of our work.

Education & Training. Further grants were made both to young adults leaving care and training grants including £500 to Give a Child a Family.

Website

Our website www.hopesachildren.org.uk has been refreshed. We are grateful to Peter Barrett for developing and overseeing it on a voluntary basis.

Trustees
