AtholPlace House & Villa - Pack for a Purpose

Visiting orphanages

Pack for a Purpose does not condone visiting orphanages, as this can often lead to negative impacts on children. The accommodation or tour company working with the orphanage will deliver the supplies in a coordinated and respectful way so that the children can benefit from them. Your generosity is not diminished because you do not interact with the children.

Project Description

The Village Safe Haven has the capacity to home 24 to 36 children, excluding support staff and house parents. This number is directly linked to what finances are available. All children attend local schools and pre-schools and The Village Safe Haven runs an excellent mentorship and exit plan programme. Sadly they cannot cater for children with serious physical disabilities as they do not have the facilities nor staff for this. The Village Safe Haven has created three homes on the property, to model a family structure.

Project Description

There is a saying in Africa, “it takes a village to raise a child”; this is our premise. It takes the contributions of us all to raise the children in our care. The top priority at Hearts of Hope is to try to provide children with forever families and, if possible, to unite children with their biological direct or extended families. If this is not an option, we aim to support their adoption and placement in loving and caring homes where they can be given an opportunity for a lifetime of love, care, and belonging.
