Anneke Raven

I am Anneke Raven; the initiator of Anna's Place.
During my studies in Social Work I have been living in Cape Town for a year and worked there with homeless youth in the ages of 7 to 23 years old. Through all my observations during this period, the idea of creating an inspiring place in which multiple chances are offered to Cape Town's youth, came to existence. After these studies I went on to study Cultural Anthropology and further developed my skills in working with young people (as my researches were all related to youth) and gathered knowledge about -relevant to Anna's Place- poverty reduction: what works and what doesn't. Through this, I have been able to develop the idea of Anna's Place to an over all well-considered plan.
