OUR VISION
To empower every child in South Africa to live an outstanding early childhood.
OUR MISSION
To come alongside preschools and work with the staff to ensure that every facet of a child’s wellbeing is nurtured. Project Hope strives to ensure that school infrastructure is upgraded and meets governmental regulations. We step alongside the teachers to ensure up to date and relevant curriculum and we ensure that every child is healthy and meeting all their milestones, interceding where necessary.
THE WHY
Faced with extreme poverty, struggling to survive every day, these children have little to no hope of a good education and ultimately a wonderful future. And yet it is has been shown that children’s brains develop the most in the first 5 years of their life. This is the time when the foundations for learning, health and behaviour throughout life are laid down. Why do we do what we do? Because we want to give these children hope for their future.
Infrastructure
- Installation of classrooms, school office, kitchen, ablution facilities and playgrounds
- Fencing
- Signage
- Water storage tanks
- Vegetable gardens
Education
- Ensuring every educator is properly qualified and receives continuous training
- Ensuring every school has the correct curriculum and necessary equipment.
Emergency Assistance
- Immediate assistance in the event of an emergency at school or within the home environment of one of our preschool children.
Nutrition
- The provision of two nutritious meals and daily snacks whilst at school
- Ensuring that vegetables from the school vegetable garden are included in the daily meals as prescribed by the dietician
- Provide nutritional supplements for children who show signs of malnutrition and ensuring a more sustainable food source for them
- Occasional food parcels as deemed necessary. We believe that regular food parcels are not empowering and so rather seek long-term solutions with short-term food support.
Health
- Continuous health assessments ensuring every child meets the necessary growth milestones
- Identifying health concerns and referring to suitable government departments
- Ensuring immunisations are up-to-date
- Ensuring vulnerable children with chronic conditions receive continuous care and that the taking of medication is monitored closely
- Referral to social workers when deemed necessary.
