Today, we visited our safe house. Our visit was amazing and we learned so much while we were there. First, we want to commend the safe house for successfully rescuing over 250 female survivors! This is HUGE, and only beneficial to the community the safe house serves. On the other hand, there is so much work that needs completed and goals the staff would like to complete.
The list includes:
- A realistic and workable operating budget
- Recruiting and being able to pay staff (the house mother is currently on volunteer basis.)
- Building a new security fence (right now, its just chain link with barbed wire on top)
- Purchasing a new vehicle for emergency transport to medical care
- Ability to pay for health insurance for girls living in the house
- A realistic, reasonable salary for the house mother
- Solar panels
- Completion of construction of an outdoor kitchen, storage space, dining area and toilets
- Painting the walls
- Renovating the house to accommodate more children
- Purchase of a vehicle for follow up and rescue operations
- Construction of a special school only for survivors
- Construction of a safe house for boys
- Entertainment area for the kids
- Construction of classrooms for skill development
What we were able to give them today (sanitary, first aid and anti-malarial supplies) will only last for so long. We are looking for folks to step up and help! Please contact Lauren, our CEO/Founder, if you're willing or able to help out with any of this list!
Note: I have blurred the girls faces for their anonymity and safety.
