Our Mission in Protection
Our mission is to protect individuals and communities from violence, abuse, and neglect. We prioritize the well-being of children, women, refugees, and marginalized groups, addressing the root causes of harm and working alongside local partners to build sustainable solutions for lasting safety and protection.

Our Focus Areas

1. Child Protection
   We work to ensure that every child grows up in a safe and nurturing environment. Through our child protection programs, we combat child labor, trafficking, and abuse, providing support services such as counseling, shelter, and educational opportunities for children at risk.
2. Women’s Rights and Gender-Based Violence Prevention
   Empowering women and protecting them from violence is at the core of our work. We run awareness campaigns, offer legal aid, and support safe spaces where women can access vital resources and services. Our goal is to eliminate gender-based violence and promote equality within communities.
3. Support for Refugees and Displaced Individuals
   We provide critical protection and assistance to refugees and internally displaced people, ensuring they have access to shelter, health services, and legal support. Our programs help individuals rebuild their lives with dignity, enabling them to integrate and contribute to their new communities.
4. Community Awareness and Advocacy
   Raising awareness is essential for creating lasting change. We conduct community-based initiatives to educate people on human rights, protection issues, and safe practices. Through advocacy efforts, we strive to shift societal norms and foster environments where everyone feels safe and valued.
