Bet Sheekoom is a Non-Profit Organisation and was established in 2001 in Port Elizabeth, South Africa. This safe haven is dedicated to assisting destitute, abandoned or abused women and their children in crisis, by offering them
a safe alternative to the abusive environment that they
find themselves trapped in. We strive to awaken hope, rebuild lives and restore families by empowering women. Ou
r outreach programmes offer guidance to women on the street who need assistance to leave a life of s*x work, domestic violence, substance-,
and s*xual abuse. Our holistic approach aims to achieve physical, mental, emotional, social and spiritual well being via counseling, skills development, the necessary medical treatment & support groups. Women of any age, race, socio-economic background or faith are welcome to take refuge for as long as it takes to restore & equip them to start viable, new lives of
