The hearthstone often is often found at the centre of the home. Communities are in-turn found at the core of all our work. We seek to engrain the fundamental principles of collaboration, respect, dignity, and fairness when working on development projects and with communities.

about us

Hearthstone Social Consulting is a newly established social and resettlement consulting company operating out of South Africa. We provide niche advisory services to both major private and publicly-funded development projects throughout Sub-Saharan Africa and increasingly globally.

Our ethos is founded on the sound and practical application of international good practice standards and principles as established by international financiers, major multi-national corporations and voluntary organisations.

Our work is grounded on close working partnerships with project developers and stakeholders to establish pragmatic social and resettlement management measures that can be implemented on-the-ground, and which results in visible and tangible results.
