About Us

Turning victims into victors.

Since 2010, Northam Victim Empowerment has provided free, confidential support to people affected by violence and crime in Northam and the surrounding communities.

Our story

Northam Victim Empowerment grew out of a simple, hard reality: people in and around Northam were experiencing serious harm with nowhere close by to turn. Services existed, but they were far away, unfamiliar and often intimidating.

We started by making sure that someone local would answer — and then built the rest around that: counselling, court support, safety planning and referrals, and prevention work with schools, men's groups, traditional leadership and SAPS.

Today our team works from an office in No. 06 Venter Street and out in the community, in partnership with government departments, funders and civil society organisations across the district.

Confidentiality

What is shared with us stays with us. We publish no names, images or stories without informed consent.
