We Care, We Support,
We Empower & We Restore.

Dobsonville Human Rights Centre is a hub of community support offerings in the Dobsonville, Doornkop and Braamfischerville areas of greater Johannesburg. 

Starting out as a program to combat the high levels of gender based violence (GBV) in the area, the DHRC has broadened the scope of it's work to include a wide range of services from victim support to skills development. 

With the support of probono.org and Norton Rose Fulbright we have developed our community support, education and development programs to fulfill the needs of the people we serve.

Tholakele “Nova” Ngubo-24-Edit.jpg

Tholakele “Nova” Ngubo

Nova received help to apply for guardianship of her sister who was in an unsafe situation at home. The ongoing support has helped them to receive grant payments and find ongoing education and training for her sister.

“There is an organisation you can go to to give you a helping hand without charging you anything. Just to help you”
Pride Ntombenhle Stephens-1-Edit.jpg

Pride Ntombenhle Stephens

During the covid lockdowns, Pride’s mental health started to suffer. Her medication was making her drowsy and she struggled to stick to the regimen. DHRC provided her with the support she needed to get back on track.

“It feels great to know that I can get help anytime and someone is there to assist me in any situation I face.”

Lerato Rampai

Lerato had a dream to start an empowerment, training and education centre for  women, children and youth in Lawley, Johannesburg.

DHRC helped her to get her initiative started, through mentorship her vital resources.

“Martha gives guidance and light to any situation. She epitomises women with true integrity.”
Thapelo Chirwa-3.jpg

Thapelo Chirwa

After loosing his eyesight at 21 years old, Thapelo was referred to DHRC for help adapting to his new life. They are assisting with many aspects of his new life as well as finding a school to further his education.

“They have helped me a lot to adjust to using a stick, how to do the washing, the ironing and even how to cook.”
Nomonde Mdladlamba-14.jpg

Nomonde Mdladlamba

Nomonde’s identity was stolen and used for an illegal marriage. Her name was changed and her child support grant payments stopped. DHRC are helping her with the complicated divorce proceedings and have assisted her in reinstating the grant payments.

“I used to cry every single night and day but now it has all changed. I don’t feel lost in the middle of nowhere anymore.”

Pumzile Twala-20.jpg

Pumzile Twala

Pumzile approached DHRC needing help getting maintenance from her children's father. It became clear that she was stuggling with depression, so they referred her to a psychiatrist and give her ongoing counselling several times a month. 

“When I come here I am sad but when I leave I am laughing”
