CHILD PROTECTION
Through our children’s book, Pendo’s Power, scale body safety education programs to train 10,000 children and adults to reduce child rape cases.
The Problem
More than 370 million girls and women alive today—or 1 in 8—experienced rape or sexual assault before the age of 18. Sub-Saharan Africa has the highest number of victims.
KENYA
63%
of survivor’s have experienced sexual violence multiple times
ZAMBIA
46%
of girls are married off before 18
89%
of reported sexual abuse cases involve children
Our Solution
Investing in survivor leadership transforms lives, strengthens communities, and creates lasting impact where it matters most. Here’s how…

Holistic Education encircles scholars with all that they need to thrive academically, helping to prevent re-abuse.

Empowering Girls increases confidence and reduces exploitation—when girls are empowered through life skills, mentorship, and entrepreneurship, they support their communities.

Protecting Children involves community education where children and adults are equipped with knowledge on body safety, consent, and reporting to create safer communities for all!
