Located in the city of Zilina, the house Mary Mother of Consolation (Dom Matky Útechy Panny Marie) is a social assistance center serving and gives accommodation to women who are homeless or are going through a crisis. It also helps needy families through social shopping.
Since November 2012 has eased the entry of women with some degree of alcohol dependence, whereas the experience has been positive.
Since its commissioning in late 2008 through 2013, have been dealt in total 98 women and 18 children. Most of these people spent in the hostel more than one night, some weeks or even months.
On Saturdays, during the evening, the shelter still open to offer something hot and do some activities with people who so wish.
