The power inside
"When an egg breaks by a power outside, a life ends. When an egg breaks by a power inside, a life begins. Great things always begin from the power inside!"
House of safety in Brackenfell, Cape Town for women and children who are victims of domestic abuse and violence. The house is large enough for us to accommodate 16 people.
The SOS Trust was established by Durbanville Business, the business chamber of Durbanville, as an initiative under its social responsibility commitments. SOS Trust is a non-profit organization.
The objective of the Trust is to influence the quality of life and well-being of its beneficiaries in a positive and sustainable manner.
Women are given shelter for 4 months in which time they are equipped and empowered to take up their rightful roles in society, so that they can proudly make a difference in their own lives and in the lives of their children. We assist them in finding jobs and also teach them skills which they might need in the workplace.
