Looking in the eyes of children: seeing indescribable vulnerability, fear, emptiness, sadness, and the question of what tomorrow will offer? Haunted by yesterday and afraid of the future, children who are so young yet whose spirits have already been broken?

Looking in the eyes of women: seeing despair, pain, and sensing their loss of identity and womanhood? Overcome by tremendous grief because they have been objectified in so many ways, trying to defend themselves, but how?

SHADE reacts by creating opportunities for development, education, and empowering women to assert their human rights. We are building bridges between the hearts of people, but also within and between communities, that have been swept away by the crippling effects of war, poverty and violence.

SHADE is stirred by this immense brokenness of humanity, but we are also stirred by the voice of God to react!

SHADE

Sojourner

Sojourner is a biblical word for stranger or foreigner living in a strange land. SHADE works with displaced people in Africa to address some of the causes of displacement. These causes are not limited to war.

Help

SHADE helps displaced people in various ways to resume their lives after war, violence, poverty and includes people from all races, cultures, and socio-economic backgrounds.

Advocacy

Through advocacy these people are given a voice to raise awareness of the problems and strunggles they are facing. SHADE advocates for these causes until they are adhered to by the relevant people involved, in order to create peace & justice.

Development

Development means to create opportunities and empower sojourners to build foundations for tomorrow on all levels of life.

Education

Education is vital and is one of the cornerstones of SHADE. It ensures that the processes developed within individuals will continue and will widely and permanently influence their lives and the communities.
