Humanitarian Organisation
Portfolio
The organisation was formed at the end of 2007 in an effort to ensure that no other refugee or asylum seeker would suffer the same fate. Their mission is to provide humanitarian assistance to vulnerable and disenfranchised asylum seekers and refugees in Cape Town. In doing so they aim to provide the support necessary to facilitate a transition to self reliance. Their projects include their Independent Living Programme; Outreach Programme and Peer Counselling Programme. South Africa remains the highest destination country in the world for asylum seekers. Most of them suffered political or economic trauma in their countries of origin. Many are victims of genocide, sexual violence, and massive human rights violations. They journey to South Africa seeking safety, only to be faced with overwhelming obstacles once here. Since its inception, the organisation has been involved in a number of initiatives and activities to assist the vulnerable asylum seeker and refugee population in Cape Town, including health and welfare, training, education, advocacy, and psycho-social and mental health care. The organisation believes in taking a holistic approach to offering assistance, addressing both the physical and mental needs of our clientele. The organisation strives to address the gap of access and availability in services for this population, while encouraging individual sustained growth and eventual self-reliance.
