About Us
Guardians of Hope is a dedicated place of safety, providing care for vulnerable children who have been abandoned, surrendered at birth for adoption, destitute, or palliative aged from newborn to 6 years. Our mission is to meet their physical, spiritual, medical, and psychological needs comprehensively. We strive to spread hope within our community, ensuring that vulnerable children receive the care they deserve and that our community is aware of our presence and support. Our commitment extends to providing a loving home environment for 30 vulnerable children, and we actively work towards family reunification whenever possible. In cases where reunification is not feasible, we support adoption processes, ensuring that the children find a nurturing and permanent loving family.
Our Team
Guardians of Hope has eight caregivers, a domestic worker and Elaine Brenkman, the founder of the organisation supervises the staff and manages the day to running of the home.
We have a Midwife, who visits the home weekly to check the babies over to ensure that they are growing well and that their developmental milestones are met.
We also welcome volunteers to come in to shower the babies with love and care.

How to Get Involved
Volunteer Time
Are you interested in becoming a volunteer? Volunteering is a donation of a person’s time without financial compensation. This is a great way to make a difference in our community and to gain some valuable experience. Our babies thrive on the love and attention given by our Volunteers.
