Cana Communities is now in its 35th year. In that time, the organisation has set up overnight shelters, homes, and run other activities to empower people in the community.
The organisation is run entirely by volunteers, and is solely reliant on donations from the community. It receives no government funding and is grateful of support. The ethos of Cana is expressed in a statement from its Constitution: “Our focus is on people who are most in need, who are suffering from loneliness, mental illness, addictions, homelessness and other factors which alienate them within society. Those with least options … are our special care.”
