Home of Good Hope was established by Monica Imanga as a soup kitchen on 15 September 2007 and registered as a Section 21 company (not for gain) on 7 September 2015, situated in the Goreangab informal settlement area, in Windhoek, Namibia
Over the years, Monica has expanded Home of Good Hope into a true social upliftment centre, providing nutrition, health and educational support services and a sports programme to 800+ at-risk children. Qualified children are sponsored through tertiary education.
Since true sustainability requires, not just feeding and educating children, but empowering their parents to provide the financial and emotional support required, Home of Good Hope provides healthcare and nutritional support to the parents, and an opportunity to improve their earning capacity through the Adult Education Programme.
We see our core values as being the principles or beliefs that we view as being unwavering guiding principles of central importance to achieving our vision and shaping our organizational culture, these being:
We see ‘holistic child development’ as the five fundamental pillars of child development (Physical, Cerebral/cognitive, Emotional, Social and Spiritual). We see the domains as interrelated – what happens in the one domain influences development in the other domains. We see that the skills and knowledge that children develop early in life are the foundation for more advanced skills and knowledge.
