OUR FOUNDATION’S MISSION IS TO TAKE HANDS WITH THE POOR AND MARGINALIZED PEOPLE OF SOUTH AFRICA.

We provide personal attention and direct benefits to children, youth, the ageing and their families so they may live with dignity, achieve their desired potential and participate fully in society.

Hanna Charity & Empowerment Foundation supports communities with all the basic services such as playgroups, soup kitchens, skills development, job creation, clothing banks, social and psychological support, libraries etc

We start all these projects in a Wendy House, because we want to help the poorest of the poor and most of these people live in RDP houses or squat in somebody’s backyard.

We use the little space we have as effective as possible and hire the space from the community which in turn, results into a small income for these people. The community then starts working from the Wendy Houses. This is where our Job Creation then takes off for those involved. One person will run the soup kitchen or clothing bank and somebody else will become an assistant to the teacher or librarian. As soon as a sponsor kindly invests in a more permanent structure we can move our projects out of the Wendy houses.

Relationships of mutual respect require acceptance of the equality of all persons. Equality of all persons comes from their essential dignity and is reflected in relationships that are without religious or other prejudice, that are multicultural, reciprocal and empowering.
