IPU/Clinical
Ladies of Hope has established the first and only In-Patient Unit in Ennerdale to provide holistic care for underprivileged communities. This 8-bed hospice center currently holds a 3-star rating with APCC. Through partnerships with community hospitals, private doctors, and public healthcare centers, they ensure patients with life-limiting conditions receive dignified care, whether at the facility or at home when families are unable to provide care.
Their professional clinical staff visits over 180 home-based patients weekly in Ennerdale and nearby areas, assisting with bathing, cleaning, and feeding. Bedridden patients receive daily check-ups, while mobile patients engage in creative and stimulating activities at the Service Centre. The Service Centre for the elderly operates at Ladies of Hope on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays, welcoming all elderly individuals.
Service Centre
A Haven of Care and Community for Our Elders
Our Service Centre is a place of warmth, respect, and support for the elderly in our community. Here, we provide a safe and welcoming space where seniors can connect, engage, and receive the care they deserve.
From nutritious meals and healthcare assistance to social activities and wellness programs, we are committed to enhancing their quality of life. Whether it’s a friendly conversation, a creative workshop, or a moment of relaxation, every interaction is designed to bring comfort, joy, and dignity.
At our NPO, we believe that growing older should be a journey of love, laughter, and continued purpose. Because every elder deserves a community that cares.
Feeding Scheme
Ladies of Hope understands that children who do not have adequate nutritious food cannot develop as they should and are at a high risk of acute malnutrition. This can lead to stunting, which affects both physical and cognitive development in malnourished children. Children who suffer from malnutrition and hunger struggle to concentrate and learn, placing them in an extremely vulnerable position and ultimately perpetuating the cycle of poverty and ill-health. Since launching this
program, we served 100 and 1000s of community children. Our database indicate that we are
currently are feeding 300 children from Monday to Thursday. Our Queenstown town branch that is currently only running a feeding scheme and support group, feeds over 200 children from Monday to
Sunday
Training Centre
Our brand-new palliative care training centre aims at educating the community of Ennerdale concerning homebased care and community care. The Training centre opened its doors to the public
2023 and had 3 successful courses under its belt. Our students went on to volunteer at different NGO’s including ours. Partnered with APCC we are glad to announce that some of our courses is
accredited with APCC. These courses are available to the public and caters for the underprivileged people with a desire to learn and empower themselves through education. You can study courses such as Basic Homebased care and first aid courses to mention a few.
Agriculture Project
Cultivating Change: Our Agricultural Project
At our NPO, we believe that agriculture is more than just growing food—it’s about empowering communities, fostering self-sufficiency, and ensuring a sustainable future. Our agricultural project provides fresh, nutritious produce while creating opportunities for learning, employment, and economic growth.
Through sustainable farming practices, community involvement, and skill development, we are not only feeding families but also equipping individuals with the knowledge to cultivate their own food. Every seed planted is a step toward food security, resilience, and a greener tomorrow.
Join us in growing hope, one harvest at a time!
