The Home of Hope is running a weekly sports programme for its children and they need rugby balls; supporters have made it happen!
Cape Town, South Africa (23 February 2024) – The Home of Hope is doing weekly sporting activities with the children living at the home and in need of some sporting donations. They put out a plea on social media for help and help came rolling in!
Home of Hope is a non-profit organisation that cares for abused and abandoned children in South Africa, especially those suffering from Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD) – permanent brain damage caused by pre-natal exposure to alcohol. The home is based in Table View, Cape Town.
They run various programmes, giving these children opportunities to flourish in the arts, sports and academics. Whatever a child’s heart desires, they hope to make a reality.
“Our children’s home needs 3 rugby balls for their weekly sports programme.
If you have a rugby ball at home and no longer use it, please consider donating it to our children’s home.”
Rugby is big sport in South Africa – especially considering that SA is now a four-time World Cup winning nation. The young hopefuls all have their hearts set on rugby, having grown up with role-models like Siya Kolisi, Faf de Klerk and Kieran Moodley to name but a few.
Catering to these big dreams, Home of Hope has been collecting rugby balls so their young residents can practice those passes and kicks, just like their favourite sportmen.
If you have sporting equipment to share, reach out to the team here. Anything they cannot use, will go into their charity shop which is currently also collecting much-needed stock.
