About This Cause
Meals of Hope Feeding Project and After School Homework Support Programme Meals of Hope feeding project and after school Homework support is a social upliftment and community development program that helps boys, girls and children in desperate need while simultaneously filling needs in the community, as they are identified. All the children come from challenged backgrounds, which includes poverty, parents who are addicted to substances, single-mother homes and orphans. We reach out to orphaned and vulnerable children attending the pre-primary school, primary and high school with homework support, food hampers and nutritious cooked meals for the children after school. We help the children with their homework after school and vegetable garden start-up in their homes. To empower less fortunate, orphaned, marginalised and vulnerable children aged 1-18 years to lead a meaningful and dignified life so that they can fulfil their physical, spiritual, family, social, career and financial needs, and to enable them to pay it forward to others from day to day. We firmly believe that a strong foundation in early literacy helps children develop strong vocabulary, self-expression, and comprehension of reading, which are essential to becoming successful readers and lifelong learners. A young child with these skills can enter primary and junior high school with a love of books and an eagerness to learn. More than half a million (683 221) households with children aged five years or younger reported experiencing hunger in 2021. Children who do not have adequate nutritious food cannot develop as they should and are at a high risk of acute malnutrition. This can lead to stunting, which affects both physical and cognitive development in malnourished children. Of those households with children aged five or younger, 13,6 percent were in Gauteng (non-metro areas). Children who suffer from malnutrition and hunger struggle to concentrate and learn, placing them in an extremely vulnerable position and ultimately perpetuating the cycle of poverty and ill-health. Children in our Centre are orphaned, vulnerable and marginalised. Most of the children don’t have school shoes, bags, cups, lunch boxes, toiletries, sanitary pads, feeding bottles, educational toys, Puzzle’s, books, food items, and uniforms. We seek donations from individuals, corporate and other like-minded organisations serving the interest of the marginalised children in townships and informal settlements. Adolescent girls are supported with dignity packs so that they don’t miss school when they’re on periods. We seek sanitary products for these girls in our centre so that they can attend classes without being absent. Your donation towards these girls will restore dignity and restore their confidence. It is through kind hearted people like yourselves that we are able to reach out to these orphaned, vulnerable and most marginalised children and girls in poorer communities and informal settlements. Most of our beneficiaries are in townships, informal settlements and rural areas. Education of Hope Africa primarily tackle challenges that the youth and women of today are faced with daily. We are about building a future where everybody enjoys equal economic and health opportunities. EOHA is also specialized in economic and health strengthening programmes designed as a total package to equip vulnerable youth and women with the assets and skills they need most to negotiate livelihoods choices and behaviors that lead to better economic and health outcomes. The organization derives its mandate from implementing programmes aimed at achieving sustainable development focusing on United Nations Sustainable Development Goals number 1, 3, 5, 8, 10, 13 and 17. We receive ZERO Government funding and operate wholly on donations & sponsorships received from individuals and corporates, as well as our own fundraising efforts. Please know that your donation and support will make it easier for us to better the quality of life of those who need it the most and suffering. Please note that we are a LEVEL 1 BBBEE Organisation and certificates can be issued. We are also registered with SARS in order to issue Article 18A PBO Certificates for all donations received. Founded in 2017, Education of Hope Africa (EOHA) is a South African registered and indigenous Non-Profit, Public Benefit Organisation (NPO/PBO) with active registration with the Department of Social Development (NPO Number: 236-182 and PBO: 930070568). EOHA envisions a world where the creative energy and courage of young people with the knowledge and expertise of academia and professionals shall build a unique capacity that will help the youth and adolescent girls to reach across false boundaries of nationality, race, and economic status to affirm our common humanity and work towards a shared vision. Education of Hope Africa further envisions a world where the economy works for people instead of people working for the economy; a world where universal human rights take precedence over profits. We believe that together we can shape a world where longitude and latitude do not determine economic destiny, a place where industrialised countries no longer take advantage of those that are on a path to development. We believe that young people in South Africa and in Africa at large are partners in development and should not be seen as threats but be embraced as opportunities; the engine of positive and sustainable development. Education of Hope Africa offers a number of social and economic strengthening evidenced-based youth and women interventions backed by strong research. Education of Hope Africa offers these specific interventions with a focus on youth and women in excluded marginalised communities of West Rand. The youth supported in these programmes include HIV, Orphaned, Vulnerable Children and Youth (PROJECT). Education of Hope Africa believes every person, be it a child, an adolescent, youth, or elderly person deserves a bright and economically secured future. Our work involves empowering every child, every OVC, young person and women in our care and programming focus, every day to give them a healthy start in life through the opportunity to learn, earn and be socially protected from vulnerabilities and anticipated erosion of assets that are not future proofed. When social, economic, or fiscal crisis strikes the most vulnerable, Education of Hope Africa are always among the very first to respond and the last to leave in those difficult settings and circumstances. We ensure that the vulnerable and marginalised people’s voices are heard, and their unique needs fully met. We practically deliver lasting results for thousands of beneficiaries, including those hardest to reach- by doing whatever it practically takes for the marginalised and excluded. Across our programming Education of Hope Africa actively takes a rigorous and evidence-based approach in providing youth and women interventions, adapting these to local contexts and labour market conditions through research and data-driven solutions which consider social and cultural conditions. For over 7 years now and working with and through key partners for critical collaboration, Education of Hope Africa has led youth and women evidence-based economic strengthening programmes at district, provincial, national, regional, and international level, and settings in South Africa). Education of Hope Africa programmes support youth to successfully transition to decent livelihoods and work and reach their full potential. We work in target communities to help deprived and at-risk adolescents, youth, and women to fully develop their self-esteem, capabilities, connecting to opportunities and networks need to succeed in life. Broadly we help in-school and out-of-school youth to learn about skills they need while at school and even much later in life thereby transitioning youth to make positive health outcomes and choices, save money they need for furthering education or other opportunities like self-employment (in starting sustainable small businesses), find safe and decent livelihoods etc. Education of Hope Africa provides a combination of financial literacy, employability, vocational and entrepreneurship and development finance and enterprise development skills training. Given the youthful and “Womer and Blacker” nature of the Southern African and African population, much of work Education of Hope Africa does focuses on addressing systemic issues encountered by the youth and women which lead to joblessness, poverty, inequality, and poor health. Hence the existence of Education of Hope Africa should be located within the broad context of achieving global, regional, and national policy imperatives on sustainable development. In its programming Education of Hope Africa places, a lot of emphasis on multi-faceted approach which simultaneously promote sustainable livelihoods and inclusive development. To this end Education of Hope Africa plays a critical role in bringing together key development stakeholders such as the Government, the Private sector and Civil society committed to youth development and women empowerment thereby contributing towards long-lasting practical solutions faced by youth and women of today.
