About Us
Providence Foundation Limited is a non-profit organisation with full charity status set up to provide balanced information and/or assistance, for women who are facing, or who have faced, life changing pregnancy decisions.
We understand that many women face a difficult choice regarding an unplanned pregnancy and have little or no information to help them.
No matter what a woman chooses, we will help her through this difficult time in her life.
However, we would like to see a change in the culture of this issue. We want to see better options and alternatives made available, with support and care for those who choose to keep their baby, or choose to adopt their baby, and for all to be more educated about this important issue. To this end, we are providing balanced information to enable women to make an informed, unpressured choice.
This is being achieved through:
• Provision of support services such as housing, access to counselling
services, support networks, etc.
• Education - providing information around pregnancy choices and a
greater awareness of the options regarding adoption.
• Raising awareness within schools and other community groups.
Housing
We are looking to provide housing for young women facing an unplanned or crisis pregnancy who are in need of accommodation. Our goal is to provide them with a supportive and loving environment and to teach them life skills, help them with their continued education and prepare them for the transition to motherhood.
Education
We provide a comprehensive education workshop aimed at 3 different age groups from Grade 5 through to Year 10. This workshop provides age relevant activities to stimulate awareness of some of the issues young people may face if pregnant, and includes information on support services and outcomes of risk-taking behaviours.
Counselling
Along with education and information we are providing compassionate care and support to women, including those who have gone through an abortion for whatever reason, without any form of judgment. We are showing the same mercy, compassion and care all humans hope we receive no matter what decisions or choices we all face in life.
If you would like assistance, or need to speak to someone further please contact us and we will put you in touch with a counsellor in your area.
