Who are we

A registered non-government, non-profit organisation. It is housed in a three-storey structure which was built with the generous donations from corporate bodies, government bodies, non-governmental organisations, foundations and well-wishers.

The Home is run by a group of volunteers – the chairperson, an advisory board, a committee and 12 counsellors. Besides this group of volunteers, there are four salaried staff : a House administrator, two housekeepers and a part-time gardener. The number of dependents staying at the home varies from time to time as the kind of shelter given is of temporary nature. Once the persons are able and confident to move on in their lives, they are encouraged to leave the Home to start out independently. The Home then monitors by keeping in touch with them and also follow-up visits at their new homes.

Our aims

1) provide support to victims of domestic violence;
2) serve as a refuge for those in need – shelter, protection, care and emotional support;
3) create awareness on issues of domestic violence in the community;
4) inculcate the spirit of voluntarism and compassion in the community.

The Home will provide temporary placement and shelter for those women and children who are victims of domestic violence who have no where else to go. All races and religions are welcome. There is also counselling provided to walk-in victims and telephone counselling for those who are not staying at the Home who need help.
