📸 From online learning to real-world action!

The H.I.P.E.R.S. 2026 Digital Advocacy & Storytelling Bootcamp brought together passionate young advocates in Yaoundé for an exciting two-day learning experience filled with creativity, collaboration, and practical skills development.

Participants built on the knowledge gained during the online training by exploring photography, videography, and visual storytelling as powerful tools for gender-based violence and r**e advocacy. Through hands-on activities and teamwork, they learned how to create ethical, survivor-centred content that educates, challenges harmful norms, and inspires action.

A special thank you to our amazing facilitators Tangu Monkem, Buinwi Kenneth Webnda, Abdel Oumar EL-bashi and Dinayen Emilien for sharing their knowledge and inspiring the next generation of digital advocates.

We are equally grateful to Rescue Women Cameroon for supporting the implementation of H.I.P.E.R.S. 2026 under the Survivor Voices Against R**e (SUVAR 2026) framework.

The journey doesn't end here. Our participants are leaving with new skills, stronger voices, and a shared commitment to creating safer communities through digital advocacy.

💜 Together, we can use technology and storytelling to prevent gender-based violence and support survivors.

Artificial Intelligence is changing the way we communicate, create, and advocate but one question guided our latest H.I.P.E.R.S 2026 Bootcamp session:

How can we use AI responsibly to strengthen GBV and r**e advocacy?

Last week, H.I.P.E.R.S 2026 participants took part in a practical training on Using Artificial Intelligence (AI) to Strengthen GBV and R**e Advocacy.

The session introduced participants to how AI can support advocacy by helping generate ideas, develop campaign messages, create images, draft social media content, translate information, conduct research, and improve productivity. More importantly, participants learned that AI should never replace human judgement, empathy, or ethical responsibility.

Throughout the session, we explored how to write effective prompts, use AI tools to support advocacy campaigns, verify AI-generated information before publication, and create content that is accurate, respectful, and survivor centred.

A key takeaway was that AI is a powerful assistant, but responsible advocates remain the decision-makers. Every piece of AI-generated content must be reviewed to ensure it protects dignity, avoids harmful stereotypes, respects privacy and consent, and promotes safe, ethical communication.

As part of their post-session challenge, participants will use AI to create advocacy content supporting the national "I Protect the Child Everywhere. Do the Same!" campaign, applying the skills they gained to produce messages that raise awareness, protect children, and inspire action.

We extend our sincere appreciation to our facilitator, Buinwi Kenneth Webnda an AI Adoption Specialist, for delivering an engaging, practical, and insightful session. His expertise helped participants better understand how to harness the power of AI responsibly while keeping ethics, accuracy, and survivor-centred advocacy at the heart of every message.

By equipping participants with practical AI skills alongside ethical advocacy principles, H.I.P.E.R.S 2026 continues to prepare a new generation of survivor centred digital advocates who are ready to use technology for positive social change.

H.I.P.E.R.S 2026 is a survivor-informed initiative funded by Rescue Women Cameroon and implemented by Safe Haven Foundation under the Survivor Voices Against R**e (SUVAR 2026) framework.

The H.I.P.E.R.S 2026 Digital Advocacy & Storytelling Bootcamp continues this week with two exciting sessions designed to equip participants with practical digital skills for survivor centred advocacy.

🤖 Using Artificial Intelligence (AI) to Strengthen GBV and R**e Advocacy.
Participants will discover how AI can support ethical content creation, campaign planning, research, storytelling, and digital advocacy while learning the importance of using these tools responsibly and safely.

📸 Photography and Videography Based Content Creation for GBV and R**e Advocacy
This session will explore how powerful visuals can inspire action, amplify survivor centred messages, and strengthen advocacy efforts. Participants will learn the fundamentals of creating impactful photos and videos that raise awareness while respecting the dignity, privacy, and safety of survivors.

These sessions build on our previous trainings in text based content creation and image and graphic design, further equipping participants to become stronger survivor centred advocates who use digital tools to educate, inspire, and drive positive social change.

The remaining sessions of the H.I.P.E.R.S 2026 Bootcamp will be announced in the coming days.

Today in Yaoundé, we joined the Ministry of Women’s Empowerment and the Family together with Plan International Cameroon and other stakeholders for the official launch of the national campaign “𝐈 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐝 𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞. 𝐃𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐚𝐦𝐞!”

This important national initiative comes at a critical time as school holidays begin and children face heightened risks of violence, exploitation, early marriage, trafficking, cybercrime and other forms of abuse. The campaign is a strong reminder that child protection must be strengthened across all spaces where children live, learn and interact.

It calls on every actor including families, communities, schools, media, civil society and government institutions to take shared responsibility in building safe and protective environments for every child in Cameroon.

At Safe Haven Foundation, we remain committed to advancing child safeguarding, mental wellbeing and digital safety for children and young people. We are proud to stand alongside the Ministry of Women’s Empowerment and the Family, Plan International Cameroon and partners in this collective effort to prevent violence and promote a culture of protection.

Protecting a child everywhere is protecting the future of our nation.

Yesterday, H.I.P.E.R.S 2026 participants took part in our second training session on Image and Graphic Design Based Content Creation for GBV and R**e Advocacy.

Building on the foundations of text based advocacy, this session introduced participants to the power of visual storytelling in advancing awareness on r**e and gender based violence. The training explored the key principles of effective graphic design, including colour, typography, layout, visual hierarchy, and the ethical use of images when creating survivor centred advocacy content.

Participants also learned how to use design intentionally to communicate clear messages, challenge harmful stereotypes, promote consent, and encourage support for survivors through compelling visual content. Through live demonstrations, they were introduced to practical graphic design techniques and tools that will support them in creating impactful advocacy materials throughout the bootcamp.

This session marks another important step in equipping participants to become stronger survivor centred advocates, using both words and visuals to drive conversations, influence attitudes, challenge harmful norms, and promote positive social change.

We extend our sincere appreciation to our facilitator Abdel Oumar EL-bashi for generously sharing his expertise and practical insights, equipping participants with valuable skills to create impactful visual advocacy content for safer and more informed communities.

H.I.P.E.R.S 2026 is funded by Rescue Women Cameroon and implemented by Safe Haven Foundation under the Survivor Voices Against R**e (SUVAR 2026) framework.

We look forward to sharing more highlights, participant stories, advocacy content, and learning moments as the programme continues.

Last week, we officially kicked off the H.I.P.E.R.S 2026 Digital Advocacy & Storytelling Bootcamp with our first training session on Text Based Content Creation for GBV and R**e Advocacy.

Participants explored the fundamentals of creating meaningful advocacy content, beginning with understanding what content is, the different types of content, and what makes advocacy content effective. The session also covered gender based violence and its various forms, survivor centred communication, ethical storytelling, and how to write clear, respectful, and impactful advocacy messages that inspire positive social change.

Beyond learning, participants actively engaged in practical exercises, received personalised feedback on their advocacy messages, and strengthened their ability to use words responsibly to challenge harmful stereotypes, promote consent, and support survivors of r**e and sexual violence.

This session marks the beginning of a series of capacity-building trainings that will equip participants with practical digital advocacy skills to create survivor informed content and amplify conversations on r**e prevention and gender based violence in their communities and online spaces.

Next up is Image & Graphic Design for GBV and R**e Advocacy, where participants will learn how to transform advocacy messages into compelling visual advocacy content.

"I am thirsty."

For many children, these are just words said after a long day of play.

For millions of children across Africa, it is a daily reality.

A young girl wakes up before sunrise, not to prepare for school, but to walk a long distance in search of water. By the time she returns, she is tired. Sometimes she is late for class. Sometimes she misses school altogether.

A young boy falls sick from drinking unsafe water. What could have been prevented with clean water and proper sanitation becomes another challenge for him and his family.

These stories are not rare. They are the lived experiences of many children across our continent.

As we mark the Day of the African Child 2026 under the theme "Ensuring Universal Access to Water, Sanitation and Hygiene for Every Child in Africa," Safe Haven Foundation stands with children whose rights, health, education, and wellbeing are affected by the lack of these basic necessities.

Access to clean water, safe sanitation, and hygiene is about more than infrastructure. It is about dignity, it is about opportunity, It is about giving every child the chance to learn, grow, dream, and thrive.

This Day of the African Child, let us imagine an Africa where no child has to choose between fetching water and going to school. An Africa where every child can drink safely, stay healthy, and grow up with dignity.

Because every child deserves more than survival.

Every child deserves a future.
