how to get involved?
At Hope Trust, we believe in the power of community, generosity, and prayer. There are many ways to get involved, whether through prayer, donations, volunteering, or hands-on support.
Our work is divided into two key programs:
⦁ The Welfare Program, where we assist families and individuals in need in Sweetwaters.
⦁ The Work 4 A Living program, where we equip people with skills, job readiness training, and business development opportunities.
Whichever area speaks to your heart, your help makes a difference!
1. Get Involved in the Welfare PROGRAM
a) Prayer Support
Prayer is the foundation of everything we do at Hope Trust. If you have a heart for intercession, we would love for you to join our Hope Trust WhatsApp Prayer Group, where we share prayer needs

b) Donate to Bring Hope
We believe in Rescue, Restoration, and Empowerment, and your donations help us meet urgent needs in the community.

We distribute these items to families in crisis. Every donation helps restore dignity and provide relief to those in need.

Financial contributions allow us to provide essential services and expand our outreach efforts. Join our HOPE 100 Campaign, whereby you sign up to a R100 monthly payment or debit order.

How you can help:
⦁ Make Jars of Hope at home! We can guide you on what to include.
⦁ Donate ingredients (rice, lentils, soup mix, stock cubes, etc.).
