HISTORY

Our
Story & Commitment

Founded in 2001, the House of Hope & Recovery was established by the late Miss. T.J. Nsele, in response to the growing need for specialized services for survivors of rape and domestic violence. Our primary mission is to provide immediate and long-term support to those affected by abuse, ensuring they receive the care and guidance required to heal both physically and emotionally. We believe that every individual has the right to live a life free from violence and fear.  Our organization has been a beacon of hope for countless individuals seeking refuge from domestic abuse. With a team of dedicated professionals, we have grown to become a trusted source of support and empowerment.

In 2002, the organization formalized its structure and obtained non-profit registration. It currently operates with a complete governance structure, including a Board of Management, dedicated staff, volunteers, and premises leased from the municipality. These facilities house administrative offices and a shelter with 15 beds for survivors. The organization upholds good governance standards through regular practices such as conducting annual general meetings, preparing annual financial statements, submitting reports to the NPO directorate, and maintaining monthly records.

The House of Hope & Recovery is dedicated and committed to supporting victims of rape and domestic violence. We ensure that we provide a place of safety where survivors can find shelter, counselling, and the necessary resources to rebuild their lives. We offer a comprehensive support system that empowers individuals to overcome their traumatic experiences and regain their independence.
