Our Core Values

Professionalism

We pride ourselves in the exceptional way we carry out our duties. Professionalism is not just a buzz word for us, it is a life style embedded in our organizations DNA.

Independent Thinking

Everyone at the Savannah Centre is an independent thinker capable of generating ideas and coming up with innovative ways to solve emergent problems.

Empathy

To immerse ourselves in the situations or circumstances of others and see the world from their perspective is very vital to how we conduct ourselves when faced with problems; it also guides us towards creativity in finding sustainable solutions.

Team Spirit

At Savannah we work as a team and members of a family. Everyone is carried along and each person is valued for his or her competences and buttons.

Let's work together to eliminate violence against women and girls! Here are some ways to get involved:
Educate yourself: Learn about the issues surrounding violence against women.
2. Support organizations: Donate to or volunteer with organizations working to prevent violence against women.
3. Raise awareness: Share information and personal stories on social media using hashtags like #OrangeTheWorld and #16Days.
4. Advocate for policy change: Encourage your government to implement policies and laws that protect women's rights and prevent violence.

Together, we can create a world where women and girls are safe, respected, and valued!
