Our rooms
The shelter offers a communal kitchen, a lounge, a garden with a playground, and a private apartment for retreat and rest.
A safe place for protection, peace, and strength
Many women and children come to us after experiencing prolonged violence. Here, they can recover and regain their strength. They live in a community but still make their own decisions.
In the therapy area, children and women can engage in creative, playful, and athletic activities. This helps them to better process their experiences. Regular conversations, assistance with applications, accompaniment to government offices, and help with finding housing provide security. We listen and are also there in times of crisis.
Our shelter is a place of protection, peace, and a new beginning. Admission is possible at any time and is always voluntary.
- Extensive security measures are in place to protect against assaults.
- Anonymity is guaranteed.
- If you would like to take advantage of the shelter's services, please contact us.
