Description

Situated in the northern suburbs of Pretoria, Fatima House can accommodate 12 young women. It was established in 1959 by the Good Shepherd Sisters to provide a safe haven for pregnant young women who wished to escape from physical, emotional or sexual abuse, rape and dysfunctional family systems.


Company description

To provide an alternative to abortion, as a safe facility for pregnant women and girls who are in a life crisis and to provide opportunities for educational, physical and spiritual growth and reconciliation.
Fatima House accommodates girls and women who want to continue their pregnancy and give their babies the right to live. Our girls and women come from all cultures, faiths and walks of life.

Here we offer love and understanding in a warm and accepting environment.

Information is given on motherhood, pregnancy and baby care by an experienced midwife. Volunteers offer antenatal classes and preparation for motherhood, computer training, (leading to Pitman Examination Certification), Natural Family Planning and craft skills. Transport is provided so that the young women can get to and from the clinic or hospital as well as continue their studies at the hospital school.

We take full responsibility for the cooking and cleaning in the house and help with fundraising.
