The Villa of Hope is an NPO registered with the Department of Social Development as a Child and Youth Care Center. The organization focuses on the provision of superior care to those children who have been orphaned or require alternative care due to abuse, neglect, abandonment and children that are affected or infected by HIV and AIDS or other ill circumstances.
We presently provide residential for children who have been placed by organizations such as Johannesburg Child Welfare, Child line, CPU, SAPS and DSD.
Whilst in our care, the health, safety, emotional, psychological, educational, spiritual and physical needs of our children are catered for in a loving environment.
