Where we work

Rooted in Northam, working across the district.

Northam and surrounding communities within Thabazimbi Local Municipality and parts of North West Province.

Our office is at No. 06 Venter Street, Northam. We also run mobile outreach so that people who cannot travel can still reach a counsellor.

Prevention is part of the work, every day of the year.

Gender-based violence is not inevitable. Alongside SAPS, traditional leadership, schools, clinics and local business, we run dialogues, awareness campaigns and men's engagement sessions that challenge the behaviour behind the harm.
