Hillsong Africa Foundation is the community development arm of Hillsong Church South Africa, born out of a desire to uplift lives and communities across the nation.

The Foundation began with a group of volunteers from Hillsong Church who wanted to help people on the margins of society by providing for their basic needs such as food and shelter. In time, the extensive needs far outweighed the funding capacity of the church, and a separate Foundation was established in 2009.

HAF is a registered Section 18A non-profit organisation. HAF has grown in mission and scope over the years, and is now running a variety of programs in more and more communities across South Africa and beyond into other African countries. In many instances, HAF works alongside existing NPOs and government bodies who are already doing great work in their sphere of influence. Where there is a great fit or opportunitiy, HAF initiates its own programs, such as the Tembaletu School Hall building project and our first ever Innovation Hub in Gugulethu.

These are just some of our significant memories over the years.
