New home for abused babies in Samoa

Samoa Victim Support Group officially open the new House of Blessings.

A state-of-the-art shelter for sexually abused and abandoned babies in Samoa has been opened, due to a large donation by Janice Bradnam, who is the Director of Bradnam Windows in Australia and New Zealand 

Bradnam had visited the shelters in Samoa in 2010, and had decided to help upgrade the facilities - thus building the new shelters for the babies that need help. Tuisugaletaua Sofara Aveau, The Samoa Victim Support Group's patron, says the organisation is seeing an increasing number of sexually abused babies.

The new shelter is on the Campus of Hope at Tuanaimato, and Samoa Victim Support Group plans to secure shelter facilities for all the children survivors of violence and sexual abuse who seek support with the Group.
