St Anne’s Homes is a non-governmental organisation that has been providing shelter, care and empowerment to abused, destitute and pregnant mothers with young children in Cape Town since 1904.

Over the years we have been able to support more than 14 000 women and children with generous support from private companies, government, donors  and individuals from around the world. Our dedicated full-time team has been supported by volunteers from around the world.

The Covid pandemic has laid bare the plight of many women – especially related to gender-based violence. Desperate to protect themselves and their children and with no place to go, many women have been forced to seek refuge on the streets of Cape Town.
