A basketball game was held between our beneficiaries and our pupils at Don Bosco Primary School. it was a moment to honor the recently concluded 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence and to stand united as a community that chooses respect, peace, and dignity for every child.

Our work in child protection has spanned 27 years and still continues. We meet children at some of the most difficult moments of their lives, including those who have experienced the very issues the 16 Days campaign seeks to address. The basketball game was a way to remind our beneficiaries how strong they are, how far they’ve come, and the support they receive.

During the opening statement, Fr. Piotr shared a message “We stand here together with boys and girls to say no to any kind of violence. Not only s*xual or gender-based violence, but any kind of violence. We promote peace, dialogue, cooperation, and respect for everyone.

The children had fun learning basketball for the first time, and our staff also got to share in the excitement of discovering the game alongside them.

“Hope Lives Here, Healing Starts Today, Don Bosco Is With Us In Every Step We Take” - our slogan for the day.

Street Child Project held an end of year quiz challenge to evaluate the knowledge gained and acquired by their beneficiaries during their time of workshops and excursions throughout the year.

This interactive challenge allowed us to assess whether our beneficiaries truly understood the topics covered during our educational workshops and retained the information shared by guides during our excursion visits. The beneficiaries were divided into three groups Zatti, Dominic Savio and Mama Margaret. This format encouraged teamwork and collaboration as they worked together to answer questions and demonstrate their knowledge.

The results were truly encouraging and showed that our beneficiaries paid keen attention and were able to grasp and assimilate what they were taught throughout the year. At the end of the challenge, each participant received a gift and a certificate of participation to recognize their efforts.

This evaluation helps us understand the effectiveness of our educational programs and guides us in planning even better learning opportunities for our beneficiaries in the coming year. When children are engaged, supported, and encouraged, they thrive.

This is a project of the FundaciĂłn Atabal ONGDand funded by the Extremadura
Agency for International Cooperation (Aexcid).

Day 8 – Supporting Survivors: Healing, Justice & Protection.

Every survivor of gender-based violence carries a story—
a story of pain, of silence, of stolen childhoods,
but also a story of courage.

At Don Bosco Fambul, we meet these stories every day.
Children who come to us frightened, wounded, and unsure of whom to trust.
Families broken by violence.
Lives disrupted by trauma that no child should ever know.

Our mission begins with healing.
We offer shelter, counselling, medical care, and a loving environment where survivors can breathe again, sleep in peace, and rediscover their worth.
Healing is not a one-day event—it is a journey we walk together with patience, compassion, and hope.

We stand for justice.
No child should suffer violence in silence.
We work with authorities, social services, and communities to ensure perpetrators are held accountable and survivors’ rights are protected.
Because justice restores dignity.
Justice gives a child the courage to rebuild.

And above all, we ensure protection.
Protection from further harm.
Protection through safe spaces, trusted adults, and systems that put the child first.
Every child who enters our gates becomes family—
and family must be protected.

Supporting survivors means more than responding to violence—
it means *believing them*, standing with them, and helping them reclaim their future.

As we mark Day 8 of the 16 Days of Activism, we reaffirm our commitment:
No child will walk through pain alone.
No survivor will be abandoned.
At Don Bosco Fambul, healing, justice, and protection remain our promise.

Day 7 of the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence

Theme: Ending Sexual Exploitation and Abuse in Communities

Sexual exploitation and abuse remain some of the most destructive forms of violence affecting children, adolescents, and vulnerable women across our communities. It thrives in silence, secrecy, and systems where power imbalances, poverty, and fear are deeply rooted.

Sexual exploitation does not only occur behind closed doors. It happens in homes, schools, streets, workplaces, and even within community structures meant to protect children. Children are often manipulated, coerced, or forced into s*xual acts in exchange for money, protection, food, validation, or survival. Sadly, many survivors remain silent due to shame, threats, and a lack of trusted adults to protect them.

The impact on survivors is life-long—emotional trauma, physical harm, loss of dignity, disrupted education, and sometimes early pregnancy. Families and communities suffer too, as exploitation destroys trust, fuels stigma, and weakens the social fabric that should protect the most vulnerable.

Ending s*xual exploitation and abuse is not merely a campaign—it is a collective responsibility. Communities must stand up, speak out, and protect children from predators who misuse power and silence.

As we mark Day 7, Don Bosco Fambul continues its unwavering mission:
To protect, heal, empower, and advocate until every child is safe, every survivor is supported, and every community becomes a zone free of s*xual exploitation.

Together, we can break the silence. Together, we can end s*xual exploitation and abuse.
