Our Programs & Initiatives

Ending Violence against Children, Girls and Women

We Create safe spaces for adolescent girls and young women to equip them with skills and engage them in peer to peer counselling.

We work with mental health survivors to share their past trauma stories and go through therapy and life skills programming to provide essential ingredients needed to move forward in life with love and community acceptance.

Birthing kits for expectant mothers

We create access to lifesaving birthing kits that ensure that mothers attend all required antenatal services and newborn babies are free from infections at birth.
