Help Diepsloot Victim Lifeline (Green Door shelter) by donating funds for supporting GBV victims
Here's a little more info about this opportunity...
Diepsloot Victim Lifeline (Green Door shelter) is the only shelter that provides support for victims of GBV in the Diepsloot township where instances of rape and abuse are among the highest in the world. Our shelter helps many victims on a monthly basis but survives on next to nothing. We need financial donations to keep the lights on when beneficiaries stay with us, to purchase airtime to stay in contact with victims and partner organisations such as other NPOs, clinics, and SAPS. We also need to cover the cost of petrol to transfer our beneficiaries to court when necessary, the hospital, SAPS or other places of safety. Section 18A certificates can be issued for all donations received.
Helpful tips
Stay safe
- 1. Don’t pass any personal information to people you haven’t met offline before.
- 2. When meeting one of your contacts offline for the first time, always be sure to arrange to meet in a public place.
- 3. Make sure that you are not left alone with someone that you have never met before.
- 4. Know where you’re going. If you’re headed off the beaten track or into an unfamiliar part of town, be sure you have directions and a GPS or map book.
- 5. If you feel unsafe, consult the person in charge and let him or her know.
- 6. Avoid wearing expensive jewellery: it could get damaged, lost or stolen.
- 7. Ask, ask, ask! If you’re worried about something or concerned about your safety in a certain situation, ask the person in charge.
