About us
Meet The Founders
Michael and Jill first & foremost love God, and have a strong desire to fulfil our God given purpose, and secondly, have always had a passion to care for, empower and disciple, orphans and vulnerable children.
A few years back we felt God calling us to leave the workplace and start an organisation that would share The Fathers Heart with these vulnerable, neglected children & help them restore and transform their lives, their families and their God given identity.

OUR LEADERSHIP STRUCTURE
The Founders of ‘The Fathers Heart Community Development’ Michael and Jill Carolissen were trained and developed by a well-established orphan and vulnerable childcare organisation (OVC) in South Africa.
In early 2019, they were released from this place of incubation and left the corporate world after years of success to pursue and establish, The Fathers Heart Community Development (FHCD) which was incorporated in 2019.
The board of directors and management team are supported by a group of 14 professional volunteers and 22 strategic organisational partners. Their joint backgrounds, combined skillsets and overall commitment to the long-term interventions, ensure the successful delivery of their critical work.
