YATSAR CENTRE

SUMMARY
Yatsar Centre is a non-profit organisation that operates with the mercy of our Lord, as it provides shelter, food and employment for homeless people in Africa, as well as acting as an effective distribution agent to serve other missions to the effect of providing food and necessities on an ongoing basis.
We do not believe in street collections, but utilize a workforce of skilled people to assist us in achieving certain set goals. These people come from broken marriages, destroyed dreams and disillusionment. Our mission is to guide them back to a normal and fruitful life.
However, an institution like ours cannot operate successfully only on what we believe in, or what we plan. We are dependent on the business community to assist us with whatever means they have at their disposal. It is for this reason that we are taking the liberty of turning to people like you for donations of any kind.

PROJECTS

Development Projects

Consider this as an opportunity to make a social investment. All donations made to the Yatsar Institute go directly to those in the care of the centre, and not to any committee or members of management.

Profits from our various projects, and monetary contributions are re-invested in Yatsar, and as a result of this we are now able to start building a new rehabilitation centre, where the property is registered in the name of The Yatsar Institute, in order to ensure that no other parties than the Yatsar Institution and it’s beneficiaries as stated in it’s charter benefit from the proceeds.

The founder and CEO of the Yatsar Institute, Max Mostert, has the benefit of others, and being able to act as an instrument in God’s hands as his main objective, while restoring people’s self esteem, enabling and rehabilitating them to fill their rightful place in society.
Yatsar is a Christian Centre/Haven for people dealt a severe blow by life, or in some cases, as a result of self – inflicted injuries (physical, psychological or spiritual), who deserve another chance to take up their rightful place in life as fully restored individuals; as the Creator planned. Here they receive accommodation, food, clothing and counseling if necessary. Our primary goal is to help them to regain self-esteem, assist them in helping themselves and equip them to in turn be able to help others.

TARGET AREAS

1. Rehabilitation

Yatsar's rehabilitation program concentrates on reforming the whole person, physically, spiritually, mentally and socially, by gradually re-introducing persons recovering or healing from alcoholism or other addictions, to society thus easing the transition of moving into a world without your drug of choice as "a crutch". There is no fixed program. The rate of recovery is determined by the individual.

When looking at the recovery process as having six developmental periods, Yatsar at presents concentrates on stages 3 to six, as set out in the table below:

DEVELOPMENTAL PERIOD GOAL
1. Pre-treatment Recognition of addiction
2. Stabilisation Withdrawal and crises management
3. Early recovery Acceptance and non-chemical coping
4. Middle recovery Balanced living
5. Late recovery Personality change
6. Maintenance Growth and development

Emphasis is placed on establishing what your destiny is in God's great plan for you. Yatsar is a non-denominational Christian Organisation.
