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.
Our vision is that our beneficiaries become holistically developed and healthy adults who can stand and be counted both within the Namibian and world contexts.
Our Mission is to contribute significantly to the holistic and healthy development of children in the project area through the utilisation of research-based and sustainable child developmental practices and applying and maintaining international and national standards and protocols in this respect.
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.
Home of Good Hope has recruited Directors experienced in the fields required in order to secure the sustainability of the organisation and safeguard best practice in terms of the governance and management of the organisation and all services provided.
Home of Good Hope strives to govern the organisation according to international governance standards and practices.
In compliance with Namibian Law, Board Members are not remunerated for their services as Directors of the Company.
