Key of Hope reaches vulnerable children and youth in Durban with the hope found in Jesus Christ. We provide them with long-term mentoring relationships and discipleship, while meeting their physical, emotional and spiritual needs.
Our staff reaches over 2000 children every week through our programs consisting of social & educational aid, leadership development, life-long mentoring & relationships and creative arts.
In 2008, after more than ten years of ministering to Detroit’s inner-city children, Dan and Rachel Smither felt that God was calling them to continue their work with children in Durban. They began visiting Durban’s informal communities, reaching vulnerable children with the power of the Gospel. What began with just one household has grown to reach over 2000 children each week!
