In partnership with Duduza Care Centre, this project supports over 150 students in the rural township of Matiwane, KwaZulu-Natal. HOPE funds four essential initiatives that help children thrive: after school care, childhood nutrition, intervention services, and sustainable gardening. Reaching across the KwaZulu-Natal region, this project provides direct aid to 600 students in need: HOPE DUDUZA GRANT PROJECT: 600 Vulnerable Children: 300 HIV positive students receive psychosocial support, 200 students receive daily meals from local soup kitchens, and 100 students receive monthly food parcels. Originally funded by USAID, this program lost its support in 2025. HOPE is actively seeking new donors and partners to continue this life-saving work.
