About Our Shelter

Step Up Ark is dedicated to empowering women through comprehensive support, ensuring safety, and providing critical community resources for those in crisis or escaping violence. Our shelter offers a safe and nurturing environment where women can rebuild their lives with dignity and confidence. Here is an outline of the services and activities we offer:

Activities:

Planting and Gardening Program: A key activity at the shelter is our Planting and Gardening Initiative, where women participate in growing fruits, vegetables, and herbs. This therapeutic activity not only promotes well-being and stress relief but also teaches sustainable skills. Women learn how to cultivate and harvest produce, contributing to the shelter’s food supply and gaining a sense of accomplishment.

Crafting and Skill-Building Workshops: Various creative and vocational skills are taught, including crafts, sewing, and entrepreneurship training, empowering women to become financially independent.

Support Groups and Healing Circles: Regular support groups and healing circles provide a safe space for women to share their experiences, offer each other support, and build a community of strength and resilience.

At Step Up Ark, we are committed to helping women regain control of their lives, develop new skills, and thrive in a supportive, caring community.

Shelter Overview:

Safe Haven: Our shelter provides a secure and confidential space for women and children affected by gender-based violence, offering immediate safety and protection from harm.

Counseling Services: Trained counselors provide emotional support, trauma recovery, and mental health resources to help survivors heal and regain their strength.

Legal Assistance: We offer guidance and access to legal resources, helping women navigate the legal system and secure their rights.

Education and Workshops: Women have access to skill-building workshops, educational programs, and career development opportunities to foster independence.

Childcare and Support: We provide safe childcare services, ensuring that children are cared for while mothers focus on their recovery and personal growth.

The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.
