We can accept almost anything you no longer want and make good use of it - clothing, furniture, appliances, shoes, glassware... anything. Donations are first screened to see if they can be used in our foster home or to assist the Mothers that we help, if not suitable for either of those projects they are sold in our charity shop.
Our charity shops have established themselves as a community project in their own right. We have been able to create 6 full-time jobs, enabling previously unemployed people to be financially independent. The shop also serves the community, as the vast majority of our customers are coming from low income groups and through the shop are able to afford high-quality items at low prices, as the majority of items have been donated by corporates, individuals, churches and the like. Through the charity shops HHM can fund 100% of the administrative costs (includes office expenses, admin staff salaries, etc.) of the ministry, thereby ensuring that all donations received directly benefit the Babies and need and Mothers in crisis.

Many informal traders purchase items at a reduced rate from Hope Charity shop to resell at a profit and we are thrilled to support their small business initiatives. Members of the community coming from low income groups are able to afford high-quality items at low prices, as the majority of items have been donated by corporates, individuals, churches and the like.
Through the charity shops HHM can fund 100% of the administrative costs (includes office expenses, admin staff salaries, etc.) of the ministry, thereby ensuring that all donations received directly benefit the Babies and need and Mothers in crisis.
Donating your quality second hand items to be sold in our shops is therefore a Win-Win-Win. Now there is an incentive to declutter your homes.
2000 children are orphaned or abandoned every year in South Africa. We are eagerly looking for more South African families to adopt children who need a loving and stable home. This is certainly not a decision to be made lightly, but if you are seriously considering adoption, please contact one of our two Child Protection Agencies:
ABBA Adoptions(012) 343 7721
Please note: Adoptions need to be processed through a statutory social worker with a registered Child Protection Agency. Hotel Hope Ministries are therefore unable to assist directly.
"When we work, we work; but when we pray, God works." - Max Lucado
This quote means so much to us, as we have seen it over and over again. We take time out every Friday at 1pm to come together as an organisation and pray to our Father, our Creator to guide us and provide for us. We keep a diary of the prayer requests and it is an incredible blessing to page through it and see how God continues to answer our prayers and guide us. Please fill in a contact form to request to be added to our weekly prayer requests mail, so that you can grant us the biggest gift by praying for our organisation every week.
Never a nice topic, but a will is something that we all should have. Consider adding us to your beneficiaries in your will. You could even specify that your clothes and other household items be given to us, as we can potentially use them in our foster homes or sell them in our charity shops.
Contact us to be subscribed to our email newsletter and SMS notifications, to be the first to hear about our upcoming events.
