Offering Healthcare and Mental Support to Victims of Abuse
This project provides essential healthcare and counseling to victims of violence, particularly young girls from marginalised backgrounds who have suffered trafficking, sexual exploitation, and abuse. Working in collaboration with police and other organisations, shelter homes rescue and rehabilitate these victims, offering them a safe environment to heal.
This particular shelter can accommodate 27 young girls offering daily support from a counselor and nurse, regular health check-ups by visiting doctors, and psychological care as needed, to ensure they receive the necessary physical and emotional support to overcome trauma and build a secure, dignified future.
IMPACT SUMMARY
200 Days of mental health support for victims of abuse
660+ Days access to health awareness sessions
100 Days of education for girls
Raising Reproductive Health Awareness Among Girls
This project helps young girls understand important topics about their health and well-being, especially related to reproduction and child marriage. In many cultures, girls can marry as early as 14, often with little knowledge about their bodies or their rights.
Through monthly meetings, the girls learn about their anatomy, menstruation, and how to take care of their health. They are encouraged to delay marriage until 18, wait until 21 for their first pregnancy, and space their children to protect their health. These sessions empower girls to make informed decisions about their lives and futures, helping them stay healthy and independent.
Delivering High-Quality Education to Girls
This project provides quality education to girls and young women in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), where access to education is limited due to poverty and lack of resources. Lycée Liziba offers classes, mentoring, and family support to help girls from vulnerable backgrounds gain knowledge and confidence to pursue their dreams and break the cycle of poverty.
With innovative solutions like mobile-based learning via WhatsApp, the school ensures students can continue their education even during challenges like COVID-19. Since 2015, the school has empowered 1,584 girls and young women, giving them the tools for a brighter future.
