Can you imagine for a second what it must be like for a little girl to be abused by someone who should fiercely protect and defend her?

*Zara faced deep feelings of confusion and extreme sadness, and the harsh life of the abuse pushed her to the brink of hopelessness. But thanks to your incredible support, our dedicated team was able to step in at a critical moment.

From the moment we were alerted to Zara's situation, our team sprang into action. We initiated a comprehensive assessment to understand her unique needs and developed a personalised care plan. Our child psychologists and trauma specialists worked closely with Zara to help her process her experiences and rebuild her sense of security.

We ensured that Zara received immediate medical care and access to therapeutic services, including counselling and play therapy, to help her express and manage her emotions in a safe environment. Our social workers coordinated with legal services to ensure her safety and advocate for her best interests.

Recognising the importance of a stable environment, we facilitated Zara’s placement with a loving Aunty, who was carefully vetted and trained to provide the nurturing care Zara needed. Our team also provided ongoing support to her Aunty, offering resources and guidance to help her create a supportive and healing home environment.

In addition to these efforts, we enrolled Zara in a new school where she received additional educational support to help her adjust and thrive academically. Our team continued to monitor her progress, providing regular check-ins and adjusting her care plan as needed to ensure her continued growth and well-being.

Today, Zara is blossoming in her new life, excelling in her studies, and experiencing the love and stability she so richly deserves. Your generosity makes it possible for us to reach children like Zara, turning their lives around and helping them build brighter futures.
