Since 2007, On Eagles' Wings has been a lifeline for hundreds of families affected by gender-based violence, domestic abuse, rape, and trauma across Jeffreys Bay and the greater Kouga and Kou-Kamma regions. Founded by a team of passionate women who recognised a critical gap in community support structures, we have grown into a recognised multi-purpose centre offering professional counselling, crisis intervention, life skills development, and community outreach.
Linked to the Department of Social Development and working in partnership with organisations including the Jeffreys Bay Wind Farm and SPAR Eastern Cape, On Eagles' Wings has served the community for over two decades. Our approach is simple: we meet people where they are - with dignity, compassion, and without judgment.

From professional trauma counselling and crisis intervention to youth mentorship, menstrual health, and community outreach reaching the farms of Kou-Kamma - our programmes are designed to meet people where they are.
Immediate, compassionate support for survivors of GBV and domestic abuse. Our DSD-linked crisis centre provides emergency counselling, shelter facilitation, legal guidance, and referral to safety.
Individual and family counselling covering trauma debriefing, substance abuse, bereavement, HIV/AIDS support, and more - offered confidentially by trained counsellors and pastoral workers.
Reaching into Gamtoos Valley, Kou-Kamma, Patensie, Thornhill, Blomplas and surrounding farms - taking awareness, support, and resources directly to those who need them most.
"But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles."
Every number represents a real person - a survivor who found safety, a family that healed, a young person who found hope. Across more than two decades, the impact of On Eagles' Wings continues to grow.
Whether you give your time, your resources, or your skills - every contribution directly funds the counselling sessions, outreach visits, and crisis support that change lives in our community. You can be part of this.

Our latest NSP reporting period reflects the depth of community need and the reach of our response. From door-to-door farm visits in Kou-Kamma to trauma counselling in Jeffreys Bay, our multi-disciplinary team served 6,727 beneficiaries across 11 active programmes.
Our Thread & Thrive sewing and tailoring programme continues to transform lives. Participants gain practical vocational skills, build confidence, and connect with a supportive community of women - many of them GBV survivors rebuilding their futures.
352 young men participated in our boys mentoring programme over the past year. By engaging boys and young men as part of the solution to GBV, we are building a generation of respectful, responsible men who can help break the cycle of violence in their communities.
