At that point someone has to step in and give them a lift;
that is what THE HAVEN tries to do."
The Haven Night Shelter Welfare Organisation provides temporary shelter, physical care, social welfare and family re-unification services to adult homeless persons typically described as "street people" or "vagrants" in the Western Cape.
Established in 1978 in Cape Town, South Africa, registered as a Section 21 (a) (Not for Gain) Public Company in 1983. Registered as an Non Profit Organisation in 2000 and as a Public Benefit Organisation in 2004.
Rather than giving your R5 or R10 to a person on the street, there is a better option; The Haven 'Passport'. It gives the homeless person entry to one of our shelters and includes a hot shower, a clean set of clothes, a nourishing meal and a bed (if available).
Passports can be purchased from The Haven Head Office or at any of our shelters @ R10 each.
