 The program invests in grouping women, students, and bystanders at the grassroots, delivering a comprehensive, evidence-based, trauma-informed approach to prevent violence by changing cultural and social norms that support violence. 

 The program provides essential empowerment training for girls as a stepping stone to leadership. We encourage rural girls to stay and succeed in school, address girls’ health and well-being, and foster girls’ agency and confidence to help them pursue their dreams. 

 The program supports young women who have experienced exploitation and oppression. Elevate project provides Sustainable Livelihood by building knowledge and attitude on women’s rights & health, entrepreneurship, and digital literacy, and a support system to help them become self-reliant. 

  We encourage women to participate in 12 months of Vocational skill training in Computer Education, Beautician, fashion designing & Sewing, Handicrafts, and Hand Bag making. 

 At the grassroots, advocacy is done within the existing community infrastructure to advocate for change in structures, protocols, and policies that are detrimental to women and girls and impede their access to rights. This includes work with local government, street leaders, and Nyumba Kumi(informal community policing), men and boys, who are often the first level of response to women experiencing violence.
