SPB believes in giving back to the community and we do this by supporting projects that have a powerful, positive impact on society as a whole as well as those who are in need.

SUPPORTING THE RIGHTS, SAFETY AND WELLBEING OF WOMEN AND CHILDREN SURVIVORS OF VIOLENCE WITH WAO

JANUARY 2018

In January 2018, our partnership with Women’s Aid Organisation (WAO) was renewed. This time, SPB lends a hand to the Social Work Department. In the previous years, SPB supported the Child Care Centre for a total of three years impacting the lives of 63 children.

With the new collaboration, SPB will support a team of six Social Workers who advocate for better rights of women in crisis and provide necessary assistance to survivors of domestic violence. They work closely with government agencies, health authorities, hospitals and police to provide essential crisis services to women and children survivors of violence. As of September 2018, the Social Workers have provided assistance to a total of 42 women and 58 children who were sheltered in WAO, conducted 128 sessions of face to face counselling and attended to 143 court cases for shelter residents, former residents and clients who sought face to face counselling.
