Empowerment Framework
Our Programmes
A comprehensive 6-stage journey from crisis to employment — delivering measurable outcomes for GBV survivors across KwaZulu-Natal.
Programme 01
Removal & Placement
“Breaking Chains, Embracing Freedom”

- Emergency medical assessment

Programme 02
Self-Care & Self-Help
