Place of Safety
202-855 NPO • 930061923 PBO
Our mission is to care for vulnerable babies and help find them loving family’s.
About Us
Guardians of Hope Place of Safety was established on 01 July 2017. The home can take care of 6 babies, however with the influx of abandonment can at times have up to 12 babies. We provide a home, love, and care to abandoned, destitute and babies given up for adoption. Where-ever possible we seek and support family reunification. Where this is not possible, we support permanent fostering and adoption.
The babies are between newborn and eighteen months of age. The home is beautifully laid out to ensure that all the baby needs spiritually, emotionally, physically and mentally are catered for. The babies are placed in our care through Christelike Maatskaplike Raad (CMR) and Social Development.
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.
My School Card
Guardians of Hope Place of Safety is a MySchool Card beneficiary. This allows you to make a difference, just by shopping. Every time you use your card at any of the partner stores they’ll give back a percentage of your purchase value to your selected beneficiary, at absolutely no cost to you!
Cot Sponsorship
The cost of caring for one baby is R240 per day. You can make a difference by becoming a sponsor through donating R5000 per month towards the care of the baby in your “adopted” cot. Your donation is tax exempt. You also then have the option to advertise your business on our exterior wall.
