Rays of Hope (ROH) began in 1991 with a single project and now supports over 600 children in Alexandra. As a mission-centred community organisation, our focus revolves around the Whole Child Strategy which is actioned through three pillars of Early Childhood Development (ages 2-6), Education Support (Grades 1-11) and Psychosocial Support. Over the years, we’ve impacted thousands of lives, and this year is no different. We extend our heartfelt thanks to the RUC family for their consistent and generous support in financial and other means.
In addition to our ongoing mission work, we distribute food parcels for the needy and hundreds of blankets through our annual #WarmUpAlex campaign. We are grateful to the many who lovingly knitted blankets, scarves, and beanies to help bring some much-needed warmth during the icy winter. We are also providing facilities for the newly established Lesedi Community Church, which officially began in March 2024.
ROH is a registered NPC, PBO (able to issue S18A certificates), Level 1 BBBEE, funded by individuals and businesses. Like any non-profit organisation, we rely on ongoing financial support and invite you to consider partnering with us through the following:

During our winter ‘Kingdom of heaven’ series break we are inviting everyone to gather on Wednesdays nights for ‘Upstream’.
Over these three weeks we will talk about the difficult question of why suffering exists, and how the Scriptures guide us faithfully responding to a broken world.
While we will cover some philosophical & worldview perspectives, most of our time will be spent exploring the Biblical language of lament as a response to suffering, as well as the central theme of Christian hope.
Every Sunday at 9:15am and at 4:15pm in the Beta Room. A great opportunity to pray or be prayed for!
