Giving Hope to Children and Babies
by Hotel Hope Ministries
Hotel Hope is raising funds for one year for one child in their care. The children in their care come from the most difficult of circumstances yet, given the opportunity, Hotel Hope brings these children joy, bringing smiles to the faces of each child coming through their doors.
This project creates an opportunity for anyone to make a difference for one child for one year, a child at the Westdene foster home or a child at the Melville homes. Your contribution will make a HUGE difference in the life of a child, especially in our new home in Westdene. You are the HERO. Thank you!
Hotel Hope exists to give hope to babies and children who have been orphaned or abandoned, and as such it works within the sphere of poverty alleviation, one of the main causes of abandonment. It is a fully registered non-profit organisation and opened two family-style children’s homes in 2011 and 2012 in Melville, Johannesburg. The children’s homes have capacity to house 24 children and are staffed by caring house mothers. From the moment they arrive, babies and children are loved and accepted and prepared for adoption into forever families. The organisation firmly believes that safe, loving and encouraging family life is important for children, to help them to grow up into secure, purposeful and socially adjusted adults. Since 2012 over 100 babies have been placed in forever families, both nationally and internationally. Childcare professionals, such as physiotherapists and psychologists, assist, often voluntarily, in the development of the children. Children have also benefited from attendance at local Montessori pre-schools.
In 2018 a third home was opened in Westdene, Johannesburg, to function as a foster home for children. Currently three sibling boys live there with a house mother. Also on the premises, a cost-effective Montessori Pre-school was opened at the same time to provide a wonderful Early Childhood Development educational experience for the children of appropriate age. Children in the Hotel Hope children’s homes come from difficult circumstances but can experience in the homes what it means to be loved, and they thrive under the loving and specialized care and activities provided for them. This gives hope to children who have started life without it, and through the love and support of the carers in Hotel Hope children’s homes, children begin to believe that they too can be part of a family,
