Our story
A response to real, local need
Golden Hi Hills Home Base Care was founded in Pretoria West to address the growing challenges faced by vulnerable individuals in our community.
Many elderly residents, especially those living with dementia and Alzheimer's, require specialised care. Orphans who have lost parents to HIV/AIDS and COVID-19 need nurturing environments, food and educational support. Women experiencing gender-based violence need safety, counselling and empowerment programmes, and unemployed youth need guidance, mentorship and skills development to secure a sustainable future.
What guides us
Our vision, our mission and the values behind the care.
To create a compassionate community where the elderly, orphans, women, and youth receive comprehensive care, support, and empowerment.
To provide a safe, nurturing environment and holistic services that improve the quality of life for our beneficiaries.
Our values
Dignity
Respecting every individual's worth.
Empowerment
Supporting women and youth to rebuild their lives.
Holistic care
Addressing physical, emotional and social needs together.
Inclusivity
Welcoming every background.
Integrity
Transparent, honest, accountable.
Community
Strengthening local support systems for a compassionate society.
What we're working toward
Six objectives shape every programme we run.
Provide specialised care and support for elderly people living with dementia and Alzheimer's.
Offer nurturing, stable environments for orphans affected by HIV/AIDS and COVID-19.
Build inter-sectoral collaboration with other service providers.
Create a safe space for women experiencing GBV, with counselling and empowerment programmes.

Facilitate poverty-alleviation initiatives such as community food gardening.
