RISK REDUCTION- NILINDE PROJECT
Risk reduction programs focus on helping individuals gain skills to reduce their risk of being victims of sexual violence and changing behaviors that might put them at risk. These programs focus on the dynamics of sexual violence so that individuals can use that knowledge to try to keep themselves safe.
The program invests in grouping high school boys and girls at the grassroots, delivering a comprehensive Sexual abuse awareness, and prevention, and instigating collective social norms on issues that affect adolescent boys and girls.
SEXUAL AND REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH – ZAHARA PROJECT
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.
Given the risks associated with adolescent pregnancy and their elevated risk of HIV and other sexually transmitted infections, the Zahara project work towards improving access to sexual and reproductive health information and services for adolescents.
WOMEN’S ECONOMIC EMPOWERMENT – ELEVATE PROJECT
The program builds knowledge and attitude on women’s rights & health, entrepreneurship, and digital literacy and provides a support system to help them become self-reliant.
The program aims to support young women who have experienced exploitation and oppression. It is crucial as it counteracts exploitation, feminization of poverty, discrimination, and disregard for their fundamental human right. Gender equality at the economic level contributes directly to the reduction of poverty and overall development.
COMMUNITY MOBILIZATION
Sexual violence is everyone’s issue; everyone is impacted by it in some way. Community mobilization focuses on giving ownership of the issue and its solutions to the community. Sexual violence prevention then becomes the responsibility of the entire community and not just of advocates and other staff of rape crisis centers. Mobilizing communities to respond to sexual violence and its risk factors ensures that initiatives are appropriate for a community and is also more likely to instill lasting
change at all levels. Community members are seen as resources in this process and as having their own
skills and knowledge to contribute to ending sexual violence.
RESTORATION
We provide life long process and a journey to healing and restoration to survivors of sexual violence. The process is tailored to meet individuals with different needs. This care may include medical, shelter, psychological, educational, spiritual, and even vocational services.
Our goal is to provide healing for the future and a solid foundation to build a healthy, safe, and fulfilling life.
We empower and equip them with leadership skills, develop their communication, and provide them with platforms to feel loved and share the word of God .
