Help Christian Social Services (CMR East London) by Supporting abused women seeking safety at safe house for overnight bags with personal hygiene items
Here's a little more info about this opportunity...
Our safe house provides respite for women who have fled dangerous living environments where they were victimized and provides them with a safe living space for anywhere between 3 to 9 months depending on their needs. They are also counselled and participate in an extended programme that includes equipping them with key communication and life skills, skills development and assistance with finding employment. Victory House can accommodate between 10 women and their children to a maximum of 20 people. Items such as toothpaste, shampoo, sanitary pads, hair brushes, gowns/slippers and winter pj's
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.
