Ministry Base in South Africa
We are so excited to let you know we have raised $157,000 of our $254,000 target to purchase and do Phase 1 renovations to move into our new headquarters.
We are so excited to develop this headquarters for offices, training center, and many other self-sustaining business projects. It will also house a church plant and serve as a community center to support children, youth, and their families. This purchase will allow us to employ our students and generate revenue to cover our project expenses in caring for vulnerable youth and their families.
We are officially registered and now waiting on paperwork for the official title deed. The official signing took place on August 27th.

The Building
We have been renting office space on the top floor of this building for the last three years and now it is for sale. The building is 11,752 square feet, including a large conference hall on the main level. It’s located in Malelane, a small city that is the hub of the Nkomazi municipality, an area with approximately 450,000 people in the Mpumalanga Province of South Africa. Hope of Africa has been empowering vulnerable youth in this area since 2013.
Sustainability
We see this purchase as the next critical step to ensure sustainability for the ministry and to help us have a greater impact in our region. We believe that creating viable small businesses that allow us to sustain our ministry expenses and employ our students will create a ripple effect that will help us greatly accelerate our impact, increasing the number of leaders we can equip to transform their communities throughout Africa and beyond.
