Our Comprehensive Pathways to Self-Sufficiency
Security and Care: We provide a secure and private facility monitored by trained security personnel. We ensure daily provision of warm meals, clothing, and necessities.
Legal and Safety Support: We assist with obtaining protection orders and connect residents directly to legal aid and South African Police Services (SAPS). We provide transportation for necessary appointments.
Individualized Case Management: Our social workers develop personalized support plans covering trauma counselling, life skills training, and economic empowerment.
Reintegration Support: We offer CV writing assistance, job placement support, and follow-up care after residents secure stable housing. We also assist with school enrollment for children.
Our Focus is Long-Term Stability for all in Nelson Mandela Bay.
Our approach extends beyond emergency shelter. We partner with South African Police Services, counselling services, courts, and local government to ensure full protection and a clear path forward. We measure our success by a survivor’s return to stability, economic self-sufficiency, and safety.
