Our Women Support Groups

Care Groups

In early August we led our first ever mental health initiative. We invited a trainer to teach Psychological First Aid, so our community care group leaders would be better equipped to lead groups consisting of young vulnerable girls. Approximately 1 in 5 of the girls we serve have been a victim of domestic violence, rape, or bullying. These groups were supported by a grant by American Women for International Understanding, and have led to improved psychological wellbeing and menstrual hygiene awareness. We are encouraged by the commitment and dedication the women and girls have had in these care groups, constantly striving to better themselves and their peers. We are working hard to ensure these girls are supported and their mental health is not ignored.
