The Centre, which is a non profit organisation, opened on the 13th June 2008 with the purpose of coming alongside and supporting ladies in crisis pregnancies. Most of these women are desperate, confused, alone and in dire financial straits, and feel that the only solution to their problem is an abortion.
The counsellors at the centre seek to inform them regarding the risks, physically and emotionally, involved in an abortion so that they can make an informed decision.
We work with Child Welfare and other adoption agencies should the mother decide on adoption as an alternative.
Practical help is provided for the ladies who decide to parent their babies in the form of baby clothes, nappies and food parcels etc. They are also advised on health issues during their pregnancy.
A media centre is being set up where parenting classes and other relevant education will be presented. Once this has been established mothers will earn baby bucks (imitation money) by attending the classes, and then will be able to use these for purchasing what they need for their babies from the centre.
