Geneva House


 


In November 2010 our Resilient Kids (OVC) department became aware of a centre for abused women and their children in Kuilsriver; a crisis centre that was in crisis.

The centre has become too much for Geneva, the lady who started it a decade ago, and has been damaged to the point that it is not fit for any human being.

It is a building in much need of repair but because the centre lost its NPO status (in a crisis centre families are only supposed to stay 3 months, this has not been happening at Geneva’s House as people stayed more than 3 months) nothing is being done from government’s side, and thus the situation is just getting worse.
 
Over the years Geneva has been struggling against a lot of bureaucracy to get government’s involvement, while meanwhile there are 71 children living there with an undetermined number of adults.

It is not the fault of these children that they are there, and yet more and more of them dropped off here on a daily basis. Geneva’s house has severe structural damage, sewerage are overflowing, no fences exist, electricity cables are stolen, children are malnourished and yet Geneva (now 63 years old) is still fighting to improve the lives of these people.

On the 18th July we are celebrating Mandela Day, which is also a day where people all over the world is called to action to make the world a better place, one small step at a time. We are joining hands to make Geneva’s House a well run, safe centre for the restoration of women and children established on this site. The needs of this house is HUGE and we invite you and your organisation to get involved in revamping this house.
