About Us


Over the past few years, Hot Cares has been dedicated to providing much-needed assistance to those who find themselves in difficult circumstances within our community. Our scope of attention ranges from the development of crèches in informal settlements, to our weekly soup kitchen for the homeless, to entrepreneurs and NPO’s who require guidance, resources and awareness of their programs, to medical assistance, educational bursaries for students and the upliftment of schools, various animal shelters and even individuals who just need a helping hand.

Hot Cares has played an integral part of bringing our community together to help those whose circumstances are beyond their control, to whom a moment of succour and a little touch of compassion would go a long way. The appreciation and the difference Hot Cares makes in the community is evident in the support and trust we receive from our audience. Businesses and individuals assist us in helping others and Hot Cares often acts as a conduit between those who have and those who need. The spirit of Ubuntu, is imbued with the sentiment,

I Am, because We Are” and we truly believe that together we can reach our goal of making a difference in as many lives as possible.

Our Vision


At Hot Cares, we are driven by a commitment to accountability and transparency, aiming to create meaningful difference in the lives of those around us. Our vision is rooted in sustainable change, delivered with dignity and compassion, reaching as many individuals as possible.

Through nurturing enduring relationships with recurring donors and supporting beneficiaries with respect and empathy we uphold the principle that the spirit of Ubuntu strengthens our communities and unites humanity.

Since inception, it has been our great privilege to be a vehicle for the generosity of those who have and give, and to connect them with those who need, to whom so little can mean so much.

Our Values


Anchored by the principle of Ubuntu, Hot Cares is built on the foundation of assisting those in need with dignity and touching lives in our community sustainably. Striving to find innovative solutions to seemingly insurmountable challenges, Hot Cares tackles the hurdles with the end in mind – being as impactful and as sustainable as possible.

We tackle challenges with innovation and foresight, striving for impactful and enduring solutions. Our approach is tailored to meet the unique needs of each beneficiary, maximizing resources to deliver transformative outcomes.

While in certain instances, Hot Cares serves merely as a conduit for bursaries and other goods and services provided to those in need, we also have a deep understanding of the spirit of stewardship bestowed upon us.

Projects such as our weekly soup kitchen and the revitalization of childcare centers exemplify our commitment to leveraging financial donations for meaningful impact.

It is in this honoured position of stewardship in which the ethical and accountable use of resources is paramount and therefore forms a cornerstone of our constitution as we grow and enjoy the capacity to touch even more lives – within our community and beyond.
