Called to serve

A Society With Access To All Basic Rights

Gender Based Violence

Through partnerships with community-based gender defenders, we actively engage in outreach initiatives to raise awareness about gender-based violence (GBV) and its detrimental effects. We do this through educational campaigns, community dialogues, and support services to empower survivors and promote prevention strategies.

Environmental protection

Climate change is not just an environmental issue; it’s a pressing public health crisis that affects every aspect of our lives. From rising temperatures and extreme weather events to air pollution and water scarcity, the impacts of climate change are far-reaching and disproportionately affect vulnerable populations.

Volunteer programme

We train and support community health promoters to improve health outcomes and well-being in the grassroots.

Capacity Building/ Empowerment

Our comprehensive approach that combines practical skills training, entrepreneurial support, and mental health care is designed to provide holistic well-being enabling them to contribute positively to their communities.

Join us in creating a safer and more equitable future. By raising awareness, empowering communities, and building capacity, we can establish a strong network of support for survivors of gender-based violence. Together, let’s work towards a world where everyone feels safe and respected.
