Stop child sexual abuse before it happens

Dear GlobalGiving Friends and Donors, Each reporting period reminds us that meaningful change begins with people who choose to extend a helping hand. Thanks to your generosity and trust, Fundación Azulado has continued supporting children and families in vulnerable situations, providing them with protection, guidance, and the opportunity to build a brighter future. Over the past three months, we have strengthened our child abuse prevention efforts through our "My Shield" program. By reaching both urban and rural communities, we have equipped children with the knowledge and life skills they need to understand their rights, express their emotions, build self-confidence, and protect themselves. Every workshop represents another step toward creating safer childhoods and communities that are more aware of their shared responsibility to protect children. At the same time, we have continued providing psychological counseling and therapeutic support to children, adolescents, and families who have experienced abuse. We understand that healing takes time, compassion, and consistent care. That is why we strive to create safe spaces where every individual feels heard, supported, and empowered throughout their recovery journey. The impact we share today is the result of a collective effort. You are part of every story of resilience, every child who regains confidence, and every family that finds renewed hope for the future. Looking ahead, we remain committed to expanding our reach, strengthening our programs, and increasing access to prevention and support services for even more children and families. With partners like you, we believe we can continue building communities where every child grows up free from violence and has the opportunity to reach their full potential. On behalf of everyone at Fundación Azulado and the families we serve, thank you for believing in our mission and making this work possible. We look forward to continuing this journey together and sharing even more stories of hope and transformation in the months to come. With heartfelt gratitude, Paulina Ponce, MS Executive Director Fundación Azulado
