Three Minutes. A Thousand Voices.
A single email takes just a few minutes - but when hundreds or even thousands of people send one, it shows decision-makers that this haven matters to the community.
We are asking supporters to email the Mayor of Cape Town and ask the City to engage with Tom Ro Haven and help explore a land solution so the haven can continue its work.
Your voice matters.
And your story matters even more.

Dear Mayor Hill-Lewis,
I am writing to ask that the City of Cape Town please engage with Tom Ro Haven regarding their urgent land crisis.
For over 14 years, Tom Ro Haven has provided a safe haven for rescued horses while also supporting children and communities through education, outreach, and welfare programmes.
I understand they have been given a very short timeframe to secure new land, and now with only 52 days left. I am deeply concerned about the future of the horses and hundreds of program beneficiaries it will affect if a solution cannot be found.
Cape Town is a city built on compassion, resilience, and community spirit. I implore the City will to work with Tom Ro Haven to explore possible land options so that this important work can continue.
Kind regards,
