About this project

In 2010, SLAWA launched a women’s rescue home in Congo to support vulnerable women facing life on the streets. This safe and nurturing space offers vital resources including shelter, medical care, psychological support, and the emotional stability needed to begin healing.

Beyond immediate care, the home equips women with practical skills through hands-on training in sewing, cooking, and beauty. These workshops empower women to gain independence and move toward long-term economic freedom.

This holistic approach ensures that each woman not only finds safety but also gains the tools and confidence to shape a new future.

Help women rebuild their lives

Your support provides safe shelter, counselling, and vital training for women facing homelessness and hardship in Congo. Together, we can offer hope, dignity, and a fresh start.
