Lifeline Vaal Unclaimed

People live in a highly stressed society and therefore need information and support which will empower them to make informed decisions and choices with regard to their particular situation

LifeLine has a shelter for abused women and their children. The Shelter was established in 1988 and is able to accommodate 11 people at any time. There is a resident Housemother who takes care of the ladies and their children on a 24/7 basis offering support and care. A Social Worker takes care of the Psycho-social services of all who are at the Shelter, providing the necessary services to enable healing.We assist any adult, of any race or religious group if required. We are able to provide shelter for those who have been trafficked.Those assisted at the Shelter have access to clinics, SAPS, legal information and help, professional services and hospital services if necessary. The children have to attend crèche, if small, and are enrolled at nearby schools, with which we have agreements. We are able to assist with obtaining ID documents, child grants and other grants as needed.Various skills development activities take place either at the Shelter or with other partners.LifeLine endeavours to provide holistic services in order that the ladies can move on with their lives and will interact with family where necessary. The Social Worker will interact with the spouse or partner where necessary.
