In the heart of East London, South Africa, lies a sanctuary of promise, a place where the cries of abandoned babies find solace, where families yearning to love and care for a child are embraced, and where the most vulnerable among us are given a chance at a better future. Our Orphan’s Promise-supported organisation – Guardians of Hope – stands testament to the potential for abundant compassion and the boundless love that resides in the human heart.

Orphan’s Promise helps a haven for children in need. This Orphan’s Promise-supported organisation is more than just a place; it’s a beacon of light for abandoned babies and a lifeline for families eager to embrace the joys of parenthood. Their mission extends beyond simply nurturing infants; they also stand as unfaltering pillars of support for abandoned children with special needs and those who have suffered abuse. At the core of their existence lies a simple yet profound goal: to provide a haven for children in need.

In August 2022, the organisation embarked on a remarkable journey as they moved to larger premises, extending their arms to embrace even more abandoned children longing for love and care.

However, with great blessings often come great challenges. So, the Orphan’s Promise team, alongside Guardians of Hope, offered help, forging an extraordinary partnership that would become a tale of hope, resilience and transformation.

It also hampered their hopes of utilising solar energy, an increasing necessity in South Africa, a country plagued by the harsh reality of load shedding. This often means a life with more obstacles for the most defenceless and at-risk in our society, lacking in basic needs – warmth and security.

Though, through perseverance, fuelled by our very own community of dedicated supporters – collective compassion shone bright, yet again
