Violence Prevention in Khayelitsha
In Khayelitsha Mosaic partners with the City of Cape Town and AHT, a German donor, in the Violence Prevention in Urban Upgrading (VPUU) project to make Khayelitsha a safer place for women and children. Although Mosaic delivers services to all residents of Khayelitsha, the organisation focuses on the communities of Harare, Kuyasa and Site C, particularly raising awareness about the Simelela Centre for Survivors of Sexual Violence and other services aiming at reducing domestic and sexual violence. Mosaic works from the Khayelitsha Court, a satellite office at Score Centre in Harare, Esangweni High School in Harare, Simelela Centre in Site B. Services will also start soon at the new VPUU centre in Site C. Have a look at Mosaic’s recent fact sheet on the services delivered in Khayelitsha during 2008/09.
