Help us pave a future away from domestic violence for women and their families every year
Open support has just received DA approval to construct a new Domestic Violence crisis accommodation facility on a site we own.
It will provide 8 individual apartments to provide dignity and safe independent living for an additional 110 women and their children each year. We have received a grant to fund the safe house facility, but due to massive increases in building costs since the pandemic, we require an extra $500,000 to complete the build. We are passionate about this project but we need your help to get it across the line by mid-2023.
Your support can change lives
With your support, our programs will positively change the lives of women and children impacted Domestic & Family Violence. Will you help pave the way for women and children to reach a safe and empowered future?
