Mission and programs · 2025

• A Spring of Hope, Inc. funds and oversees clean water, sanitation, food security, education support and economic empowerment programs serving schools and communities in the Mpumalanga and Limpopo Provinces of South Africa. Program activities are carried out on the ground by A Spring of Hope SA, separate foreign not-for-profit entity from A Spring of Hope located in the United States, which reports to the organization on the projects undertaken and the use of the funds provided. 2025 ACCOMPLISHMENTS: COMMUNITY ECO-HUB Construction of the Spring of Hope Community Eco-Hub was completed on a four-hectare site, and the facility is fully operational. It includes a 50-seat classroom, meeting room, pack house, processing room, pantry and storeroom, a borehole, two Enviro-loos and one flush toilet, together with three hydroponic tunnels (10m x 30m each) and one shade-net garden (10m x 30m). The Eco-Hub serves as a center for agricultural production, food security training, entrepreneurship development and community empowerment. WATER ACCESS Three boreholes were drilled between February and June 2025 at the Community Eco-Hub, Makgahlishe Primary School, and the Cottondale Disability Centre significantly improving access to clean water for schools and community beneficiaries. SAFER KITCHENS A fully equipped kitchen with propane stoves and clean running water was built at Panyana Primary School, and the kitchen at Masweng Primary School was upgraded with a new roof, shelving, plumbing, electrical improvements and paint, supporting safe meal preparation for learners. SCHOOL NUTRITION More than 20,000 meals were served at Nkotobona High School through the Afternoon Meal Program, which supports Grade 12 learners attending afternoon classes. FINANCIAL LITERACY During Money Smart Week South Africa in August 2025, workshops were delivered in partnership with the Banking Association South Africa, First National Bank, Nedbank and Post Bank at Panyana Primary School and Nkotobona High School in Mpumalanga, and Sekoko Primary School and Maatla Primary School in Limpopo, covering budgeting, saving and responsible banking. GIRLS CLUB A year-long program at Matlolane Primary School and Beretta Primary School provided life skills development, confidence building, menstrual health education, and menstrual products to Grade 7 girls, supporting them to remain in school. WOMEN IN ENTREPRENEURSHIP Forty-two young women were trained in business management, technical skills and enterprise development. Four new businesses were established, in primary, secondary and tertiary farming and in e-waste management. WARRIORS PROGRAM Launched in December 2025, this character development and leadership program enrolled 20 Grade 7 learners in its first intake, addressing leadership, personal accountability, emotional resilience, responsible citizenship and community service. PERMACULTURE TRAINING Three permaculture training workshops were conducted, benefiting 22 schools and community projects represented by educators and garden support staff, to promote food security and sustainable organic vegetable production. ARCHITECTURE MENTORSHIP Four learners from Nkotobona High School continued weekly online architecture classes facilitated by a donor architect based in New York, with local support from staff and an educator, and advanced to using SketchUp Pro software provided to them.
