Anchor of Hope was established on the 23rd of March 2009 and is a non-profit umbrella organisation comprising of seven different divisions, each concentrating on its own field in the community of Bloemfontein.
Our aim is to restore the dignity of vulnerable people, irrespective of age, gender, ability, political background or race. Projects and programs focus on upliftment, development, restoring dignity and humanity, and providing a sense of worthiness and purpose. This is achieved by providing clothing, nonperishable food and support services through a network of organisations, projects, feeding schemes, counselling, awareness programmes, pregnancy home, men’s shelter and job preparation (and creation) projects.
Our vision is to expand our footprint nationwide with contributions of National Companies. Eight pillars of social impact receive our specific attention. These are: partnerships, welfare, skills development, the environment, individuals with disabilities, women, education and job creation
Eight Pillars of Social Impact
RED (Blood of Jesus)
John 1:7 But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one other, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin.
BLUE (Colour of Royalty)
Esther 8:15 15 Morcedai left the kings presence wearing royal garments of blue and white, a large crown of gold and a purple robe of linen. And the city of Susa held a joyous celebration.
DOVE
Song of Songs 2:12 12 Flowers appear on the earth; the season of singing has come; the cooing of doves is heard in our land.
WATER
Isaiah 41:17-18 17 The poor and needy search for water, but there is none; there tongues are parched with thirst But I the Lord will answer them; I God of Israel, will not forsake them. 18 I will make rivers flow on barren heights, and springs within the valleys. I will turn the dessert into pools of water, and the porched ground into springs.
HOPE
Joel 3:16 16 The Lord also shall roar out of Zion, and utter His voice from Jerusalem; and the heavens and the earth shall shake; but the Lord will be the hope of His people, and the strength of the children of Israel.
ANCHOR
Hebrews 6:18-20 18 God did so that, by two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled to take hold of the hope offered to us may be greatly encouraged. 19 We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. It enters the inner sanctuary behind the curtain. 20 where Jesus, who went before us, has entered on our behalf. He has become a high priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek.
DOVE
