The women
who find refuge at the Olga House have access
to a range of essential services, including:
day centre and night shelter
hot meal service
clothing dispensary
physical health follow-up*
mental health follow-up*
*Services currently in development.
At any time of the day, evening or night, rotating teams of workers
provide each woman with the kind of support she needs to overcome
her difficulties. These workers have been trained to implement Herstreets
mission and philosophy on a daily basis.
As a result, communal life at the Olga House
substitutes as a positive experience for those who have too often
been deprived of constructive relationships.
This context of openness has a therapeutic effect and is complemented
by a program of follow-up activities and services in the community.
