Giving children back their childhood

Hearts of Hope is a transitional children’s home based in Johannesburg, providing a turning point opportunity of personal and individualised nurturing care to orphaned and vulnerable children.

Children need...

…nurturing care for their innate capacities to flourish. This means providing young children with a secure environment that is sensitive to their health and nutritional needs, which protects them from danger and abuse, and provides them with opportunities for early learning and interactions that are responsive, emotionally supportive, and developmentally stimulating. Nurturing care consists of five interrelated components: health, nutrition, safety and security, responsive caregiving and early learning.”

Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, Director-General, World Health Organization, Geneva, Switzerland in Early Childhood Matters, 2018
