Shammah safehouse

The Shammah House serves as an afterhours reception centre and work closely with the Police Community Forum (Moffatview Police Station)

Traumatized children are able to remain in a warm, caring environment where comprehensive assessments, medical services, and trauma counseling is provided.

Research shows that inadequate parenting creates devastating long term psychological problems – resulting in children with a poor capacity for emotional bonding which can contribute to the destabilization of communities

SHAMMAH SAFE HOUSE was founded by Bobby/ Katharine Jonkers in 2006 with the intention of providing children with a safe haven which gives them alternative to a life of instability.

We provide care for the following children at risk :
Abandon children
Lost Children
Child Trafficking
Orphan children

The HIV and AIDS epidemic has rise to new heights and we have more orphaned children due to the fact that their parents has died.
