Our mission
Thousands of babies are abandoned every year in South Africa, two out of every three do not survive. At Door of Hope, we are committed to rescuing as many of these precious lives as possible. In 1999, we installed a Baby Saver Box into the church wall, providing a safe alternative to unsafe abandonment. Hundreds have been helped but there are many more that will need help.

Voices of hope
Transforming lives, one child at a time
“Over the past 15 years, I’ve had the privilege of welcoming over 60 Door of Hope children into my Toptots classes. The dedication of the staff and volunteers is truly inspiring—they not only ensure the children’s safety but also support their development with genuine care. It’s an honour to work alongside such passionate people.”
Yvette Searle
Toptots
“Without Door of Hope, many abandoned babies would be at risk of dying in Johannesburg. Instead they are cared for, loved and supported on their journey towards finding a forever family.”
Dee Blackie
Child Protection Activist
“What makes Door of Hope so special is that it is a place where precious little lives find love, acceptance and comfort. The angels at Door of Hope name and nurture every child, and above all, fight for each one to have a future, and a hope.”
Robyn Wolfson Vorster
Child Protection Activist
“You are a beacon of hope to children not yet knowing that they are lost and a blessing to families knowing that there is a little angel somewhere meant for them to find and love with all of their hearts.”
Adele Chmurkowski
Kaenguru Foundation
“It has been my pleasure to do the medical assessments of babies and toddlers at door of hope for more than 10 years. I find the standard of care and love for each baby very high. Each child is treated as an individual and staff show a high level of insight into their problems and needs. I am impressed by the ongoing assessment and improvement of programs and routines.”
