About The Haven Night Shelter
The Haven Night Shelter was established in 1978 in Cape Town, South Africa. We were registered as a Section 21 (a) (Not for Gain) Public Company in 1983, a Non Profit Organisation in 2000, and as a Public Benefit Organisation in 2004.
Our method is to make temporary shelter, rehabilitation opportunities, social welfare services, family reunification services, physical care and support available to adult people living on the streets who are committed to reintegration.
To partner and co operate with religious institutions, organisations, welfare bodies, service providers, businesses, government departments, local authorities and individuals concerned with the care and welfare of the destitute.
To promote community awareness of the social problems arising out of destitution and to encourage the participation of the public in the alleviation of such problems.
To reduce the opportunities for people to continue to live on the streets.
What They Do

Temporary Shelter & Care
