Welcome to Peace
Haven Community Services Online |
We are a community based organisation formed to serve our people
in the Kwa-Zulu Natal region.
A need to establish safe houses for the protection of the abused
men, women and children is clearly needed at this point in time
throughout the country.
Also identified is a need to shelter orphaned children infected
with the HIV / AIDS virus.
The organisation was established in October of 1996 by a group
of dedicated people who with a common vision saw the need. The members
of the PEACE HAVEN COMMUNITY SERVICES committee are all longstanding
residents of the area and have served the community over the years
in various ways.
- The Lighthouse Crisis Centre is
situated in Verulam, North of Durban, and is a safe haven for
abused people. Peace-haven offers a unique service in that it
provides counselling and crisis housing for the abused victim.
- Food for Life Ministries assist in
alleviating poverty in stricken areas of the afformentioned Magisterial
areas by distributing food parcels to the needy.
- Empowerment Education Programmes educate people into becoming
self-sufficient, thereby alleviating poverty further.
- Men for Equality empowers men by
enlightening them to be better fathers and husbands. Accordingly,
this programme addresses the problem of domestic violence.
- Light House Strikers Football Club
encourages the youth from disadvantaged communities from partaking
of alcohol, drugs and other addictive substances.
- Finally, P.H.C.S is involved in fund-raising in order to raise
monies to open an orphanage and Hospice for AIDS stricken people
and other related projects.
