This has led to the formation of Nine divisions; ranging from the treatment and rehabilitation of substance abuse centres through to working with gangsterism, abuse and violence against men, women and children. Reverse Racisism is a major issue. The criminal Justice system, Police Corruption. Fighting for the right to information which is being taken away again should the legislation be passed. We operate a 24/7 crisis centre. HIV/AIDS (Paliative) Step down facilities and clinics are on the cards. Human trafficking is a huge problem. if accredited orphanages are being caught, how many un-registered 'care-givers' are using child grants and leaving the children forsaken, Orphaned, Child-headed Househols, especially among the african population is vastly under-researched and we believe vastly vulnerable to human trafficking, both for drugs, and sold into the sex industry, we proviide soft skill and other education and training, through Life essentials as well as several other areas of interest
