In our communities in Kibera, the largest slum in Africa, we pass out these resource cards to teach students how to report incidences of sexual abuse. As these students are empowered by knowing their rights, they often speak out against violence in the community.
Many of these students share their story of abuse that happened to them as a child. Other students advocate for others by referring survivors to Freely in Hope for further support. Freely in Hope receives heartbreaking stories on a daily basis and works with many partners in Kibera to provide resources in health, legal advocacy, and safe housing for survivors.
These resource cards are helping us get the right information to the people who need it most. We're in the process of designing and printing more of these cards in both English and Swahili to reach over 6,000 students this year! Thanks for allowing us to implement our programs to prevent sexual abuse in our communities!
