About St. Anne's Homes:
The St. Anne's Homes was established in 1904 by a small group of dedicated Christian women from the Church of the Province of Southern Africa as a refuge for any woman or girl in need. Over the many years St. Anne's has adapted and expanded its services to respond efficiently to the changing needs of the women and children they care for. Our HIV/Aids project seeks to care and support those who are infected and affected by HIV/Aids. By including all, women are being empowered and enlightened on matters on HIV/Aids and they are also encouraged to get tested. An important aspect of our work is to help prepare the women for the job market. They are supported and guided in applying for jobs and thereafter a debriefing session is held to share their experiences with each other. Through weekly job-hunting skills workshops, all our women benefit from CV writing, job hunting skills, interview skills, telephonic interview skills, dress code, positive self-image and building confidence. This enables women to find suitable and sustainable employment.
