New Life Centre is a registered Non - Profit Organisation (NPO) and Public Benefit Organisation (PBO) based in Midrand, President Park at house no 2/274 Brand Road. The home has been in operation since 2005 and started as an outreach programme in Hillbrow, Berea, Yeoville, CBD and the surrounding areas with the aim to assist and empower girls and young women who were commercially sexually exploited, victims of human trafficking, victims of Gender Based Violence, orphans, abused women/children as well children at risk of such exploitations. The Organisation has really made a huge difference in the lives of many young women and children in South Africa with the support of our churches, companies and individuals who have supported us in a number of ways over the years. We have made strides in the rehabilitation and restoring a normal life for children who come from previously disadvantaged families, strides in assisting GBV, human trafficking or child sex-worker victims.
We can certainly say that we have a good story to tell as some of our girls have gone on to complete their Matric while staying at the home and then proceeded to universities and colleges. Others have gone on to get vocational or practical training and are employed and integrated back into society. They are responsible citizens who are now supporting other girls at the home as well as reunited with their families. We also have girls who are employed by the Department of health in different clinics as well as SAPS, Financial services and retailers.
The organisation is facing various challenges and our services have seen an increase in demand over the years as we know children are in the danger of abuse, neglect, exploitation, and violence at their homes, in schools, in the community or during unforeseen emergencies
