    COMPREHENSIVE SUPPORT FOR SURVIVORS, YOUTH AND FAMILIES.

    We deliver integrated, community-based services that meet people where they are — from safe shelter and trauma counselling to skills development and health care. By combining GBV support, psychosocial care, skills training, and community awareness, we help survivors heal, empower women and youth, and address the root causes of violence, unemployment, and poverty.

    Our work reaches Ndwedwe, Inanda, Ntuzuma and Durban North, as well as surrounding communities including uMzinyathi, Emaphephetheni and eKukhanyeni.
