GBV Victims Transport Required

Healing Hands GBV Shelter has been extremely busy this year more than other years due to the increase in gbv. Some cases are worse than others and need more attention and care than others by means of traveling regularly to the hospital, doctors, SAPS, local clinic. We struggle with the little Polo Vivo 1,4 which we have which is also used in collection of donations daily for the other programs which we run. Getting another vehicle will be a blessing to the many benefiaries we have, cater for daily. Most of the time it is more than five women and children to be transported which is then a huge problem then we must do 2 or 3 trips. Women and children receive in depth counselling, transportation, safe accomodation, basic needs daily, 3 x meals, clothes, daipers, educational materials and support and after care when they have left.Victims are helped with preparation of their cv's and assisted with finding jobs to become self sustaining so that they do not have to be reliant on and go back to the abuser.

We are open 24 hours to receive these victims. Their safety and sound state of mind is our utmost priority and making them feel at home and showing that we do care and are there for them at their time of need. All suport is critical in making in these victyims lives as this is a global problem and we need to take hands in the fight against GBV.This shelter will also help achol and substance abuse victims. This is a huge problem in the Nelson Mandela Metro.
