What is the Healing Hands Community Project: The Healing Hands Foundation is located in Central in Nelson Mandela Bay, Port Elizabeth, and is a registered NGO/ NPO It was a facility opened in 2010, focusing on Women and their children, who have been affected by Domestic Violence. Healing hands occupies one residential facility, at 12 Whitlock Street in the suburb of Central, Port Elizabeth, run by (Maggie) Magdalene Bangaree and her team, it homes and protects as well as provides a haven to women and their children who have had to leave where they live due to Gender Based Violence, Why was this facility opened? In 2010, the director Maggie noticed there was a great need for a shelter as the rate of domestic violence is so high in South Africa, international stats confirmed that S.A. has one of the highest incidences in the world, with that she decided to open a safe haven for the many victims that suffer each day in the Eastern Cape, that have no place to run too when in danger. One other area that Maggie identified was the high incidence of HIV, in the Eastern Cape, and once again South Africa has the highest rate of HIV and Aids in the world, and she identified that some cases that approached her where effected as well as being victims of domestic violence, so with this in mind she decided to acquire a building and proceeded to develop an holistic approach for victims, that included assistance for those who are diagnosed with HIV, and also those that have drug addiction and as well as providing counselling for all. Due to the continuous rise in Domestic Violence Cases over the years, the need for a larger facility to house these victims is growing every day. The building in Russel Road, namely the 6 Flatlets within that building, will suit our purposes ideally. It will be the perfect Haven for our GBV Victims. Over the 10 years the Healing hands foundation has assisted hundreds of women and their children, and have been there day and night, saving lives
