Our Mission is to disrupt and transform cultures of sexual violence through preventative education, holistic support for survivors, and empowering African women and girls to break the cycles of violence within their families and communities.
Our rescue efforts focus on identifying and supporting survivors of sexual violence and human trafficking. We provide safe housing and emergency interventions, offering immediate protection to survivors.
We address the long-term effects of trauma by providing holistic support services, which include mental health, economic empowerment, and community-based support groups.
We work with communities to challenge harmful beliefs and empower advocates for change. We provide skills training, raise awareness, and advocate for policy reforms, creating sustainable improvements in the lives of survivors.
We understand Sexual violence includes Rape, Child sexual abuse, Sexual assault, Sex trafficking and exploitation, forced marriages, domestic servitude and Female genital mutilation (FGM).
1 in 3 girls become victims of sexual violence before their 18th birthday.
1 in every 5 girls has had a live birth, or they are pregnant with their first child.
40% of the girls drop out of the school year due to pregnancy. Most unlikely to return, affecting long-term educational, economic, and health outcomes.
44% of African women, or more than two in five, have been subjected to forms of sexual violence.
86% of our survivor support goes to young women, mostly abused as teenagers.
Your support and contributions will enable us to help women and girls EVERY DAY when they need it most and give them a whole different future with school, a career, and a safe place to call home.
