Shelter: Safe House is a concept we have developed to assist and support underprivileged children to enjoy their childhood in a safe stimulating environment. The concept is very simple: Safe House is an establishment where the children would spend time while their parents go to work. During their time in the Safe House, their needs would be met while being equipped and empowered to enjoy their childhood on the journey to becoming responsible citizens without the fear of abuse and neglect.

ONGOING PROJECTS

Good Hope is the name given for the widows’ project meaning “we bring good hope to them”, the slogan is “empowering for a self- sustainable tomorrow”. Every year we support over 100 Widows in various ways, (Dry Rations etc.) and also support 12 widows on a monthly basis. Due to many reasons widows and single parents don’t go to work and get held in life, our aim through this project is to support them with employment and provide an opportunity to earn so they can be self-sustainable. The project is led by a “widow providing employment to widows” The products such as bedsheets and carpets they make will be traded in different commercialized locations, items will be exported as well.
