Sobre nosotros
The Haven Night Shelter was established in 1978 in Cape Town, South Africa. We were registered as a Public Company in 1983, a Non Profit Organisation in 2000, and as a Public Benefit Organisation in 2004.
The Haven Night Shelter Welfare Organisation provides temporary shelter, physical care, social welfare and family re-unification services to adult homeless persons in the Western Cape.
Vision: No-one should have to live on our streets.
We believe in a future where communities, organisations, and government can create the supportive network to ensure that no-one is forced to live on the streets to survive.
Mission: To get the homeless to a home.
How We Work
• Our method is to make temporary shelter, rehabilitation opportunities, social welfare services, family reunification services, physical care and support available to adult people living on the streets who are committed to reintegration.
• To partner and co operate with religious institutions, organisations, welfare bodies, service providers, businesses, government departments, local authorities and individuals concerned with the care and welfare of the destitute.
• To promote community awareness of the social problems arising out of destitution and to encourage the participation of the public in the alleviation of such problems.
• To reduce the opportunities for people to continue to live on the streets.
The Haven employs social workers to undertake an in depth assesment and help the homeless person construct a personal development plan (PDP). The PDP requirements will indicate that needs to be done and for how long the temporary shelter is necessary in order for the client to succesfully complete the requirements in the PDP. From this moment the guest is regarded as a client of The Haven. Progress is measured regulalrly and the PDP adjusted if neccessary. The shelter manager is responsible for administration, hospitality, good order and arrangements with respect to work opportunities and the clients exit from The Haven.
Waheeda Toefy is the Manager of the Haven Night Shelter.
