Our main focus is to be a safe haven for those living the fringes of society, especially those living in poverty. This haven is created by focusing on the caring and personal development of the homeless, destitute and needy people in the Greater Stellenbosch area. Our vision is to facilitate a process of healing, to restore hope to those that have lost a positive outlook on life and to empower people to live meaningful lives.
Straatlig makes a very important contribution to the Stellenbosch community through its various programs, while our commitment to partnerships and cooperation means that we never duplicate work that is already being done. Furthermore, the establishment of the after-care program provides an immeasurable service to children that face some of the harshest circumstances on a daily basis.
