    What We Do

    65% of abandoned children are NEWBORN babies

    The first 1 000 days of a baby’s life are of vital importance for the child’s sound mental and emotional life (as of course is good nutrition). If stability and nurturing in a loving environment is absent, the results can be disastrous in the long term, with the child becoming a dysfunctional adult, unable to form meaningful bonds, often accompanied by deep distrust. This can lead to anti-social behaviour in later life. We know that Atlantic Hope has played a critical role in many lives.

    Atlantic Hope provides developmental, physical and emotional care. Medical needs are prioritised, we provide nutrition, health care services and give the babies the nurturing and care they deserve as they begin their lives in the absence of their parents, which is not what nature intended. We do this in a loving and peaceful safe haven, whilst legal proceedings determining the child’s future are conducted by the social workers.

    Since 2010 Atlantic Hope has taken care of over 130 babies in need of child protection services, some for up to 12 months. Atlantic Hope is a registered non-profit organisation that works with Social Services and Adoption Agencies to provide care and nurture to the most vulnerable members of society. Every baby in temporary safe care at Atlantic Hope has been placed by order of a Magistrate at a Cape Town Children’s Court.
