Emergency Accommodation

ahomePAWS is currently working with the City of Perth to establish emergency accommodation within one of our current premises for people in the community who need support. This demonstrates that we can help one living entity without exploiting another in the process. PAWS will offer shelter, food and human kindness.

Peter Singer once wrote “if it is in our power to save someone’s life with little cost to our own lives, then we are morally obligated to do so, and not to do so is morally reprehensible”

Savings someone’s life is clearly dramatic; however, protecting persons from harm, assuring their rights and privileges, providing necessary resources are less dramatic and less clearly understood obligations.

Here at PAWS as part of our ‘non violent’ outreach program, we have opened our doors to all walks of life to demonstrate how one can live simply, so that others can simply live….
