Yet, sit with them over coffee and you are struck not by drama, but by warmth, humour and an unshakeable belief that ordinary people can change extraordinary circumstances.<br \/>\nThey are the founders of Hope4\u00ae, an international NPO now headquartered in Ballito, with operations spanning Moldova, Ukraine and beyond. Their story begins quietly with a schoolteacher, a reluctant entrepreneur and a single decision to say yes.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/02\/pic3-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-42250\" src=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/02\/pic3-1-267x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"267\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/02\/pic3-1-267x400.jpg 267w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/02\/pic3-1-280x420.jpg 280w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/02\/pic3-1.jpg 533w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 267px) 100vw, 267px\" \/><\/a>A call that changed everything<\/strong><br \/>\nZoe, a French and Spanish teacher originally from Romania, first visited Moldova as an interpreter on a church trip. She was confronted with women in prison raising babies, teenagers growing up in detention centres and children abandoned, not through lack of love, but because poverty had left parents with no choice.<br \/>\n&#8220;I just wanted to encourage them,&#8221; she says. &#8220;To give them hope.&#8221; When she called Chris with the idea, &#8220;Let&#8217;s move to Moldova&#8221;, he responded immediately with &#8220;Over my dead body.&#8221; But life had other plans.<\/p>\n<p><strong>From reluctance to resolve<\/strong><br \/>\nCovid devastated Chris&#8217;s UK business, giving the couple space to rethink their future. By February 2021, they had landed in a freezing Moldovan winter, unsure of what lay ahead, but determined to serve.<br \/>\nThey started small: buying washing machines, delivering food, helping wherever there was need.<br \/>\nThen the war began. In February 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine. Hundreds of thousands of refugees poured into Moldova. Chris and Zoe donned their red Hope4 jackets and drove straight into the chaos.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/02\/pic4.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-42251\" src=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/02\/pic4-400x267.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"267\" srcset=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/02\/pic4-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/02\/pic4-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/02\/pic4-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/02\/pic4-1536x1023.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/02\/pic4-630x420.jpg 630w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/02\/pic4-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/02\/pic4-1068x712.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/02\/pic4.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a>When hope became a movement<\/strong><br \/>\nAt the first refugee centre, the answer to &#8220;What do you need?&#8221; was simple: everything.<br \/>\nWith almost no funds, Chris made commitments he wasn&#8217;t sure they could keep. Then came a phone call that sparked global fundraising, within a week, R2-million had been raised.<br \/>\nHope4\u00ae quickly became one of Moldova&#8217;s earliest and most effective responders. Warehouses opened, aid poured in, partnerships formed. Since the war began, they&#8217;ve helped distribute more than R1.2-billion in humanitarian assistance. They even expanded into Ukraine, delivering aid near the front lines, despite warnings that their lives were at risk.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A new chapter in South Africa<\/strong><br \/>\nNine years ago, Chris and Zoe honeymooned in Cape Town and fell in love with South Africa. In 2025, Ballito became home and with it, Hope4\u00ae&#8217;s most ambitious chapter yet.<br \/>\nHere, the focus has shifted to long-term transformation: renovating schools, providing essential supplies and rolling out rape recovery kits for children &#8211; tackling one of South Africa&#8217;s most devastating hidden crises.<br \/>\n&#8220;It&#8217;s estimated that more than 150 000 children are raped in South Africa every year,&#8221; Chris says. &#8220;We can\u2019t ignore that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/02\/pic2-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-42249\" src=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/02\/pic2-2-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"696\" height=\"464\" srcset=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/02\/pic2-2-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/02\/pic2-2-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/02\/pic2-2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/02\/pic2-2-1536x1023.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/02\/pic2-2-630x420.jpg 630w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/02\/pic2-2-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/02\/pic2-2-1068x712.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/02\/pic2-2.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" \/><\/a>Hope through jobs<\/strong><br \/>\nAlongside Hope4\u00ae, the couple has launched a purpose-driven business to create dignified employment.
