Articles - Christian Community Living for Women

The YW is a non-profit organisation that provides safe accommodation for women wanting to maintain a healthy witness to a Christian way of life. We have Christian Community Living Accommodation available in Bloemfontein, Cape Town, East London, Johannesburg, Pietermaritzburg and Pretoria.

Our aim is to provide a home away from home and our residents attend weekly youth services, optional bible study groups and life skills/youth development programmes. An important aspect of the Christian Community Living is that of healthy social development and whilst recreational facilities differ from residence to residence each community boasts both indoor and outdoor facilities. Our libraries have a wide variety of fiction and non-fiction books and all our residences have TV and video facilities.

Our dedicated staff are there to meet their needs: praying for them during exams; overseeing medical care during an illness, or providing moral support as they face a difficult situation.

Residents may stay for a few days, months or years. THE YW sets out to provide an environment of Christian Community living which promotes mutual development and help and loving support to our residents – spiritually, socially, physically and intellectually.
