Community

Hope and Kindness is not an external helper; we are deeply integrated into the fabric of the Kosele community. Our work is an expression of Christian compassion and a commitment to walking alongside our neighbours, especially in times of greatest need, just as the Bible commands us to care for the poor and vulnerable.

Jesus said, “You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.’ Matt-22-38″ This is the first and greatest commandment. A second is equally important: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ (Matthew 22:37-39 The Message)

Walking Through Crises, Building Stability

Our community support extends far beyond the schools and church:

  • Housing Stability: We provide practical assistance by offering rental housing, and actively building and repairing damaged houses for families experiencing housing crises. This stability is critical for enabling families to get back on their feet.

  • Food Assistance: We ensure that the most vulnerable families are cared for, particularly:

    • During school holidays, when the pupils miss the daily school meals.

    • During times of drought, when food insecurity strikes the neediest families.

Our model is holistic—a hand up, not just a handout—providing the practical support that allows individuals and families to regain dignity and hope.

This support provides stability, prevents disaster, and shows our community that they are not forgotten.

House Build

Housing is a basic human right. It should go without saying that everyone should enjoy the security of a safe place that provides a good home. Unfortunately many houses in Kosele do not meet that standard. We help to remedy the situation when we can.

Food Security

Depending on rain fed subsistence farming leads to massive food insecurity. Alternating drought and flood conditions frequently cause hunger and malnutrition in our community. Feeding the hungry is a call to action from the Bible that we take very seriously.

Building Relationships

Our work in the community is an outworking of our commitment to building trust and friendships. Hope and Kindness has a significant presence in the community – especially at times of greatest need. People now that they can depend on us.

Building Resilience

Helping Without Hurting

The challenges in living in a rural community like Kosele are immense. Some days it seems everything conspires against living a satisfying life. Hope and Kindness recognises the need for holistic development.

Our purpose is to help people to thrive so that they can live the full life that God promises us in the Bible.

“Defend the weak and the fatherless; uphold the cause of the poor and the oppressed.” Psalms 82:3

This Psalm inspires us to serve the members of our community who are vulnerable and in need of a hand up if they are to thrive.
