Our Vision________To empower orphaned and vulnerable children by reintroducing UBUNTU as a global language spoken, understood and lived by all those who journey with us on the TRAIL OF HOPE and create a platform to develop critical consciousness for nations who envision a brighter future for disadvantaged African youth._________________________________________Our Mission
The mission of Trail of Hope Foundation is to create a platform that highlights the desperate struggles orphaned and vulnerable children face in order to survive against poverty, trafficking, abuse, crime, institutionalization, disease and recruitment into military conflicts. Thus the international community can effect change.
Trail of Hope Foundation (T.H.F) is a non-profit organization based in Pretoria, South Africa that empowers orphaned and vulnerable children to develop critical consciousness within their context of living. It was founded by Tendai Sean Joe, a former street child, now an international advocate for disadvantaged children and youths.
The ‘Trail’ is a trail of human inspiration created to bring attention to the struggles of orphaned and vulnerable children in Africa and suggest sustainable solutions to help transform these children into future leaders of tomorrow. These children arrive in the streets often traumatized due to various reasons. Street life is also traumatic as children are exposed to sexual abuse, child trafficking, drug abuse, gangsterism, prostitution, hunger, violence, disease and poverty. Sniffing glue becomes one of the few escapes from the realities of the oppression suffered and the fear generated by street life. It unfortunately leads to peripheral neuropathy, a crippling condition. T.H.F seeks to create partnerships with all sectors of society including municipalities, government departments, key policy makers, service providers, the media, international organizations especially orphaned and vulnerable related organizations, institutions such as schools and universities, churches and local community groups. It has been endorsed by London Mayor Dr. Boris Johnson, International humanitarians such as Judy Westwater (Author and Founder of Pegasus Children Fund, U.K), Tom Touhy (Dreams for kids, Chicago, U.S.A) and some public figures across the globe. T.H.F will achieve its goal through partnerships mentioned earlier and by encouraging accountability, relevance and sustainability of projects. In addition, documenting projects for television will also serve the donor community with relevant information either for advocacy or future strategic planning.
Overtime, T.H.F would like to become a philanthropic television show that visits some remote parts of the African continent, filming and documenting projects and thus show givers how their donations are making a difference in the world.

15/01/2010 Trail of Hope Foundation is now registered in South Africa as a Section 21(Not for Profit) Organisation No 2010/000548/08
