🗨We mentioned earlier this week how you can help us by attending one of our events - and so what better time to remind you about the fantastic Escape to the Farm!

A case study from our partners at Uzima, in South Africa 🇿🇦

"After losing both parents at a young age, one young woman grew up without safety or stability, experiencing ongoing abuse within extended family care. Her life began to change when she was connected to community support through Uzima, with backing from Arms Around The Child.

Through consistent psychosocial support, education and mentorship, she was given the space to rebuild her confidence and believe in a different future. She went on to complete a university degree in Psychology and Physiology and is now volunteering within her community, supporting younger learners and giving back in the same spaces that once supported her.

Her journey is a powerful reminder that with the right support at the right time, cycles of trauma can be broken and futures can be redefined." 🧡
