At Vita Nova Centre, our commitment to care extends far beyond the walls of our organisation. As a team dedicated to uplifting vulnerable individuals every day, we recognise the urgent need to address one of the most pressing issues affecting families and communities across South Africa—gender-based violence (GBV).
The Vita Nova Centre staff proudly support ongoing initiatives and collective actions aimed at ending gender-based violence in our communities. This is not just a symbolic stance; it is an active, heartfelt commitment rooted in our core belief that every person deserves to live in safety, dignity, and respect.
These efforts help create spaces where survivors feel heard, supported, and empowered, while also encouraging community members to challenge harmful behaviours and cycles of abuse.
Our involvement is also deeply personal. Working closely with vulnerable individuals reminds us daily that violence—whether physical, emotional, or psychological—leaves lasting scars. This understanding fuels our passion to be part of the solution, to stand up against injustice, and to advocate for those whose voices often go unheard.
Real change happens when individuals, organisations, and communities unite with purpose, and at Vita Nova Centre, we are honoured to be part of this collective movement.
We encourage everyone—friends, supporters, families, and community members—to take a stand with us. Whether through education, advocacy, compassionate conversations, or supporting survivors, each action contributes to building a safer, more caring society.
Together, we can break cycles of harm. Together, we can drive meaningful change. And together, we can create a future where every person feels valued, protected, and free from violence.
