Our Impact
Over 15 years, Healing Hands has delivered consistent, measurable support to thousands of individuals and families
br Every day across Nelson Mandela Bay, lives change. A mother and her children find safety after fleeing violence. A homeless man receives his first hot meal in days. A student gets school shoes so she doesn't have to miss class. A family rebuilding after a fire receives furniture and hope. This is the impact of Healing Hands Community Project.

Looking Ahead: Building the Next 15 Years

- 100 beds of safe overnight accommodation
