What We Do

The work we do to support survivors

Every woman who comes to Goshen is met where she is — with kindness, confidentiality and practical support.

Temporary Shelter

A safe, confidential home for women and children escaping violence — with accommodation, three meals daily, clothing and essentials.

Emotional Restoration

Counselling and compassionate support to help survivors heal in mind, body and soul.

Physical Restoration

Time, care and a calm environment to recover physically and rebuild strength and confidence.

Skills Acquisition Support

Tailoring, culinary and other vocational training so survivors can become self-sufficient.

Employment Support

Help securing suitable jobs — including placements at schools, companies and government agencies.

Reintegration

Steady support to re-enter society and live peaceful, independent lives away from violence.

Education for Children

Enrolling children in new schools quickly to protect their education and emotional wellbeing.

Healthcare Support

Access to healthcare so women and children can recover and stay well throughout their stay.

Every service is delivered with dignity, confidentiality and respect for every woman and child.

From fear to freedom, step by step

Most women stay with us for three to six months, and up to a year where needed. Every journey is different — and every woman is walked with, at her own pace.
