South Arrival Centre was established on the premise that we are able to assist and help
with the current issues of poverty and the ever increasing homelessness within the
communities of South Africa, so hence South Arrival Centre came about with it's chief
director and founder Ms Millicent MacKenzie. South Arrival Centre is currently searching
for transport in an attempt to create a continuum of care available to South Africa's
orphans and children and women that are victims of abuse. Public funding will be used
for such projects.
The work of the South Arrival Centre is to:
● To provide safe detox.
● To provide a therapeutic program recovery
● To promote abstinence-based recovery.
● To identify for clients an appropriate treatment centre, which is regularly
monitored, evaluated and reviewed in order to maintain a high standard of
professional care.
● To offer clients the opportunity to explore positive aspects of their character.
● To raise orphaned children and women those who are victims of abuse in the
home and provide education, food and lodging.
● To help with treatment and a cure if they are suffering from any diseases.
● To provide high quality care for children and adolescents in useful and beneficial
skills through its own programs and follow through with state run education.
● Promote the importance of family planning, the dangers of drug use and
sexually transmitted diseases, especially HIV and AIDS and COVID-19.
● Encourage the reintegration of the children with their own families if possible.
● Offer short-term or long term transitional shelter for homeless children and
women that are victims of abuse and those living with HIV and AIDS.
Once we are able to assist those within our care to act and live independently from our centre and the programs we have in place, it is at this point that we release them from the program. We intend to still provide mentorship beyond our gates to ensure that these individuals are coping well and are able to adapt to their new conditions for an estimated period of 6 months. Funding We may be required to rely on grants from the government in order to maintain the general costs to run this centre. We will seek out and identify those various bodies in government to aid us in this journey as well as sponsors to meet our function needs.
We are currently seeking out the assistance from the Government to aid us in finding larger property to assist women and children. We will call on sponsors and funders to assist with living necessities, which we will in turn provide to the guests at no charge. Inhouse services will include: three meals a day, toiletries, clothing, laundry and basic living expenses as needed. Long term housing is explored with staff, social workers, and community organizations to
identify available options for either private living or publicly supported housing programs. Shelter is our primary concern in order to serve our various communities. Mentoring is the promotion of a person's physical, mental, and emotional health. The basic goal here is to help get a person readjusted and situated within their community. Each person will be guided by a social worker to identify personal needs and satisfy personal healing and
growth. This mentoring process will aid in helping to enable those in the program to employment. Employment is the establishment of any sustainable income allowing a person to live a frugal life. For some this may include working a job. For others it may include receiving funding from government resources.
