Hope and Dignity

 

Who we are

Since 1988 our shelter has served single adults in the Helderberg area. And since 2020 we increased our services to accommodate homeless families with children. Our Family Shelter is the only one of it’s kind in the Western Cape, catering for single mothers, single fathers and couples with children.

We offer a wide range of services including skills training, rehabilitation, and counseling. Our programs provide employment opportunities, school transport, social services, and education. We also offer baby and toddler day care, health and wellness support, coaching, life skills training, and accommodation.

Our team works on every client’s personal development to progress them to a fresh start and self-sustainability. We are like a extended family for the time that they need it the most.

In addition to accommodation, we honour vouchers that the public can purchase to hand out, which are exchanged by those experiencing homelessness for meals, food parcels, hygiene products, and clothing. We love what we do and always strive to give our best to those who deserve to be valued and championed.

... Winter SWEAT for GOOD:

Katherine, our local champion, is stepping her way to 100 km. She decided that getting fit with a worthy cause is a win! She juggles 🤹‍♀️ motherhood not just for her three fine children, but has a massive heart of care for all the children at our family shelter. The holidays have been jam-packed with holiday club, nature walks, and Drankenstein Lion Park.

She has just clocked 58 km and aims to finish strong 💪.

Thank you, Katherine, Mom to Many, for doing all you can to support our children 🖤.

Show your encouragement by supporting her campaign. It will give her a huge boost!
