Our Program focus:
“The Victims’ Empowerment Program” (VEP) Our Safe House offers refuge to women and children in an environment of warmth and care with specialised therapeutic services and a varied skills development programme.
“The Substance Abuse Program” Our Substance Abuse Programme has counsellors trained in motivational interviewing – an effective technique used for substance abuse and one that can be implemented at a relatively low cost in resource poor settings.
“The Children And Families Program” We have also worked to mitigate the trauma of interpersonal violence through the use of effective support groups for children and adults.
