In a rural area, four people sit outside a small round house with a thatched roof. One person stands in the doorway, while the others are seated on a bench or low seat, with laundry hanging on a line nearby.

Who we are

Genesis Hope Care is an NGO, operating in Marburg, Port Shepstone, KwaZulu Natal. Genesis Hope Care has played a major role in the holistic care and support for its patients and their families from the surrounding communities of the UGU district Through high quality services offered, we are privileged to be able to impact the lives of people living with HIV/AIDS, TB, Cancers, Strokes, Pressure Sores, Diabetes, Post-Operative Conditions and Chronic Illnesses.

They are looking into a red laundry basket filled with clothes. The room has a window with curtains, a couch, and various items on the shelf, including bottles, a speaker, and wires.

We provide medical, nursing, spiritual and compassionate care to clients in their own homes, either until they are well enough to cope on their own, or they pass away with dignity and surrounded by love. We work closely with Community Health Clinics in order to provide effective care for patients.

Support a Patient

What is ‘support a patient?’

The Support a Patient programme is an innovative concept in which individuals, groups or companies help to sponsor the much-needed care for community patients who have HIV/AIDS, Cancer, TB, Post-Op Conditions and Chronic illnesses. This covers a share of the medical, nursing, nurtritional rehabilitation, psycho-social and administrative costs entailed in caring for each patient.

A man with a shaved head is sitting on a couch with a blood pressure cuff on his arm, while a healthcare worker checks his vitals. The man is wearing a gray T-shirt and patterned shorts, and the healthcare worker is standing nearby.

Participants in the programme can sponsor (or part- sponsor) the treatment for a community patient for as many days as they would like. It may be; once-off, monthly, one day or more. This will enable us to provide Home Based Care to government hospital patients in their own homes.

Why get Involved

Many people who have HIV/AIDS, Cancer, TB, Strokes, Chronic illnesses, poverty and other social needs do not have the finances to afford basic Home Based Care. For these people, medical, nursing, spiritual and compassionate care will be provided for them in their own homes, until they are well enough to cope on their own, or until they pass away with dignity and are surrounded by love, which is an immeasurable benefit.

Four women, likely healthcare workers or nurses, are gathered around an open vehicle trunk containing medical supplies. One woman is holding a white first aid kit, while others are reading papers or examining items in the trunk. They are standing outdoors on a dirt surface next to a building with metal walls and greenery in the background.
