At A Re Ageng Social Services, every person who walks through our doors carries a story—often one of pain, survival, and courage.
One of those stories is Thandi’s.
Thandi arrived at our shelter late one evening with nothing but a small bag and her two young children. She had fled an abusive home, leaving behind everything she knew in order to protect her life and her children’s future. She was scared, exhausted, and uncertain of what tomorrow would bring.
But that night, she found safety.
At A Re Ageng, Thandi was welcomed with warmth, dignity, and compassion. She received a safe place to sleep, warm meals, and access to trauma debriefing sessions that helped her begin to process the pain she had endured. With the support of our social workers, she slowly started rebuilding her confidence and rediscovering her strength.
Her children, once withdrawn and fearful, began to smile again.
Through our programs, Thandi gained life skills, emotional support, and guidance to start over. Today, she is no longer defined by her past—she is a survivor, a provider, and a woman rebuilding her life with hope.
Every bed, every meal, every counseling session, and every moment of care is made possible by people like you.
