Psychosocial support

Gender-based violence leaves deep wounds. Our psychosocial support gives survivors a space to be heard, to feel safe and to start healing at their own pace.

We work directly with victims and survivors and treat each person with dignity and confidentiality.

Drum Making Project

We make drums by hand, creating skills and income for women and youth. Every beat calls the community to stand against gender-based violence.

The drums sound at campaigns and events under the message “Drums beat louder than fear.”
