The impact of GBV further extend to relationships in the community, such as the relationship between the survivor’s family and the community, or the community’s attitudes towards children born as a result of rape.

Education empowers women to change their environment and communities and also improves their chances of success in life. This is why we offer full scholarship to the victims of GBV who are willing to go continue with their education
We also take girls who don’t want to go to school for vocational training to acquire skills that would help them either employ themselves or get employed in both formal and informal enterprises
