Description

Shalom Sanctuary was established in December 2010. A few years ago the Lord gave me a vision to start a sanctuary for abused women and children. The Sanctuary started in my home, where I took in women to stay with me, where I counseled them for a period of time until they were ready to leave. We are a registered as a Non Profit Organization, our Sanctuary is highly confidential and we work closely with the Child Protection Unit, Courts  and Social Services.  We have a trained housemother, to ensure the smooth running of the Sanctuary.
