β’ Anxiety, fear, and broken trust
β’ Low self-worth and shame
β’ Difficulties at school and concentrating
β’ Anger, withdrawal, or acting out
β’ Sleep problems and ongoing health issues
β’ Trouble forming healthy relationships
β’ A constant sense that the world is unsafe
At Ons Plek, we stand with every girl β

and trauma for a future she deserves. π

What people say
Ons Plek Projects in Cape Town is a beacon of hope for the city's most vulnerable population - the invisible street children, particularly girls. Since its establishment in 1988, Ons Plek has been dedicated to providing a safe haven and comprehensive support for these young girls who have found themselves on the streets.
At the core of Ons Plek Projects is their intake shelter, which serves as a 24-hour assessment center for girls in need. With a capacity to accommodate up to 25 girls, this residential safe-house offers not only a place to stay but also counseling, education, and support services aimed at reunification with their families. The commitment to the complex reunification process sets Ons Plek apart and underscores their dedication to holistic care.
In addition to the intake shelter, Ons Plek Projects includes Siviwe second-phase shelter, focusing on therapeutic and developmental care for girls, as well as Ukondla Community Project aimed at prevention for boys and girls at risk of becoming street children. This multi-faceted approach demonstrates Ons Plek's comprehensive strategy to address the root causes of homelessness among young girls in Cape Town.
The impact of Ons Plek Projects is profound, considering that nearly 150 girls between 6 and 18 years old leave home each year due to abuse and neglect. These girls often find themselves in dire situations on the streets, where they struggle to survive. By providing a structured environment and empowering programs, Ons Plek equips these girls with the tools they need to navigate life's challenges and build a brighter future.
The dedication of Ons Plek's social workers and child care staff shines through in their commitment to each girl's well-being and success. Through their tireless efforts, Ons Plek Projects stands as a testament to compassion, resilience, and transformation in the face of adversity.
For anyone looking to support a meaningful cause that uplifts marginalized youth and creates lasting change in communities, Ons Plek Projects is an organization worthy of recognition and support. Their work not only transforms individual lives but also contributes positively to society as a whole.
