In a collaborative effort to support victims, Century Insurance Company Guam, a business unit of TanHoldings, joined forces with Anthony Baleto of Catholic Social Services Guam to provide assistance to the Alee Shelter.
The Alee Women’s Shelter provides emergency/protective shelter for victims of family domestic violence and sexual assault. Serving women, with or without children, who are in crisis due to family domestic violence and sexual assault, the shelter ensures safety and security by keeping its location confidential. It offers protective shelter for up to 45 days, along with meals and clothing assistance. The shelter also provides moral and physical support to help victims begin a new, healthy lifestyle. Services also include respite care and childcare as needed, enabling adult clients to access necessary services for their future safety and to promote independent living. Case management services are offered to help obtain financial assistance, medical help, food stamps, housing, and legal services. Workshops are conducted on various topics such as good hygienic health care, family health, nutrition, good housekeeping, parenting skills, coping skills, assertiveness skills, building self-esteem, and enhancing knowledge of self-worth, all of which help to improve interpersonal relationships. Furthermore, the shelter offers continued case management services even after clients leave the shelter.
Through this partnership, Century Insurance aims to contribute to the welfare of the community and extend support to those in need, furthering its commitment to community welfare and social responsibility.
