Help Girls and Women Empowerment Network (GWEN) by beds,wadrobes,chairs& desks for teenage mothers shelter for teenage mothers and girls survivors of GBV
Here's a little more info about this opportunity...
GWEN is in the process of constructing a shelter for vulnerable teenage mothers and girls survivors of GBV in Sele rural and needs furniture to make the shelter habitable and safe. Teenage mothers who are thrown out of their family homes for falling pregnant out or wedlock find themselves destitute and at risk with their babies on the streets. While girl child survivors of rape and child marriages are rejected and neglected by society. Thus, GWEN is creating a safe shelter for these young people to stay, recuperate before they can be unified with loved ones.
Helpful tips
Stay safe
- 1. Don’t pass any personal information to people you haven’t met offline before.
- 2. When meeting one of your contacts offline for the first time, always be sure to arrange to meet in a public place.
- 3. Make sure that you are not left alone with someone that you have never met before.
- 4. Know where you’re going. If you’re headed off the beaten track or into an unfamiliar part of town, be sure you have directions and a GPS or map book.
- 5. If you feel unsafe, consult the person in charge and let him or her know.
- 6. Avoid wearing expensive jewellery: it could get damaged, lost or stolen.
- 7. Ask, ask, ask! If you’re worried about something or concerned about your safety in a certain situation, ask the person in charge.
