HOPE Recovered

HOPE Recovered „HOPE Recovered“ is a registered non-profit organisation that empowers the young disadvantaged generation. It was founded by Raphael and Gontse Richli.

In 2016 Raphael from Switzerland got married to a beautiful young lady from the township Mamelodi in the east of Pretoria. Her name Gontse means "it is well". She brought 2 boys Boipelo and Kopano into the marriage. Seven months later they also care for her two orphaned nieces Tshegofatso and Refilwe. The mission minded couple has a big heart for the youth in South Africa. Their aim is to recover

hope where people seem hopeless. They work with different ministries and partners. Raphy works with drug addicts at "Teen Challenge", and Gontse is invovled with the young adults in the ABET school as well as the kids in the afterschool program of "Beam Africa Network". They also partner with a preschool called "Bright Beginnings" in Mamelodi which focuses on orphans and vulnerable children. Our Mission:
Through the gospel of Jesus Christ we want to plant seeds of hope in the young generation. Specifically disadvantaged people who grow up
• without perspective,
• trapped in poverty,
• bound by drugs or alcohol,
• violated or abused,
• without role models and fathers,
• poorly educated,
• or in hopelessness. Our Vision:
We want to see young people full of hope for a better future, overcoming poverty and addiction, freed from their past, able to forgive, filled with God’s peace and full of passion walking in their God-given purpose. Our Strategy:
Engage with disadvantaged young people by
• Discipling them on living in the truth and following Jesus
• Equipping, teaching and training them to improve career opportunities
• Counselling them so that God can set them free from their past and heal their souls
• mentoring/fathering them to help how to practically follow Jesus

The enemy comes to steal, kill and destroy
Our Library was invaded day before yesterday and all cables were cut and first aid kit was stolen…
We consider it pure joy to face multiple challenges, for we know our Lord will provide.

English Literacy Program fills every spot
Every one of our 40 spots is filled again. After working through our waiting list, the English Literacy Program is now running at full capacity, welcoming a good number of new primary school children who are beginning their journey of learning at the HOPE Recovered Library.
The excitement in the room when new kids arrive is something words struggle to capture. Our volunteer teachers are ready, the children are eager, and the pages of books that once seemed impossible are beginning to open up. One of our newest volunteers has already made a warm impression — pictured reading a Bible story aloud to a wide-eyed group of children who leaned in with every word.
"Every child who learns to read gains a key that unlocks every other door."

Englisch Leseprogramm wieder ausgebucht

Alle unsere 40 Plätze sind wieder besetzt. Nun läuft das Englisch-Leseprogramm mit voller Kapazität und begrüßt eine gute Anzahl neuer Grundschulkinder, die ihre Lernreise in der HOPE Recovered Bibliothek beginnen.
Die Aufregung im Raum, wenn neue Kinder ankommen, lässt sich kaum in Worte fassen. Unsere ehrenamtlichen Lehrer sind bereit, die Kinder sind voller Erwartung, und die Seiten der Bücher, die einst unmöglich schienen, beginnen sich zu öffnen. Einer unserer neuesten Freiwilligen hat bereits einen herzlichen Eindruck hinterlassen – auf dem Bild liest sie eine Bibelgeschichte vor, während eine Gruppe von Kindern mit großen Augen jedem Wort lauscht.
