Before the festivities started, we made time for some Human Trafficking and Gender-based Violence awareness and taught them a self-defence tip should someone try to abduct/kidnap them 🙌🏾. Needless to say, the kids were in their element lol!!. 🌟😂

On the norm, we provide self-defence workshops to Orphanages/Shelters for women and children who are victims of human trafficking, Gender-based Violence, all other forms of abuse and orphaned. This we extend to schools too.
In order to continue providing these valuable workshops coupled with Human Trafficking and Gender-based Violence Awareness and Education, we need at least 1000 people to donate R100.00 plus monthly to assist us.
