A Safe Haven for Women and Children
Every woman deserves safety, dignity and the opportunity to rebuild her life.
BloemShelter for Women provides shelter and support for women experiencing homelessness in Bloemfontein.
We support women and their children as they take steps towards a more hopeful future.
A place to begin again
When life becomes uncertain, having somewhere to turn matters.
BloemShelter for Women is a nonprofit organization based in Bloemfontein, South Africa. We are committed to offering essential services to women and children facing homelessness and those recovering from abuse.
Our work brings together shelter, daily care and encouragement. We recognise each woman's dignity, strengths and hopes, and the importance of support as she begins to rebuild.
