Our story

Helping women regain control of their lives

Rahab Beauty Foundation is a dedicated organisation committed to providing support, empowerment and a pathway to healing for women and children who have experienced abuse or who were rescued from human trafficking.

By offering a compassionate space, our Safe Haven will ensure that every woman has the opportunity to regain control of her life, heal from past trauma, and move forward with confidence.

The foundation works tirelessly to raise awareness about domestic abuse, educate the community and advocate for long-term change, fostering a society where all women can live free from violence and fear.

Established in 2025 by two phenomenal working women.

Emergency shelter

A safe place to stay for women and children escaping abuse.

Counselling

Support to heal from trauma and rebuild confidence.

Legal assistance

Help to understand and act on legal rights and options.

Rebuilding lives

Blanket Drive

Through our Blanket Drive project, we aimed to bring warmth and comfort to those in need during the cold winter months. We placed two donation boxes at our local shopping mall, inviting members of the public to donate blankets or make financial contributions towards the project.

The blankets collected were distributed to less fortunate individuals and families, helping them stay warm during winter. This initiative allowed our local community to come together and make a meaningful difference in the lives of others.

In honour of the late Cornal Hendricks

Bag of Hope

The Bag of Hope project was created to support women and children who have been rescued from human trafficking or situations of abuse.

Each bag was filled with essential toiletries, clothing, and a Bible, providing practical necessities as well as spiritual encouragement during a difficult and vulnerable time in their lives.

  • Toiletries
  • Clothing
  • A Bible
Through this initiative, we hoped to offer more than just essential items. We wanted each woman and child to receive a message of hope, dignity, love, and the reassurance that they are not alone as they begin their journey towards healing and restoration.
