Sponsorship for girls and women

Living self-determined

Girls and women are exploited and abused in many parts of the world because of their gender. Disadvantaged girls and women need protection and the chance to actively shape their future. With a sponsorship you protect girls from exploitation and violence and help them to lead a self-determined life.

Sol: "Silence kills"

Violence is commonplace in El Salvador. 19-year-old Sol has experienced much violence at home. Her father beat her and her mother every night, but out of shame they both kept silent. When Sol was 16 years old, her mother died from a head injury. Our partner organisation Las Mélidas, which works against violence against girls and young women, encouraged Sol to break out of the cycle of violence. Today Sol knows that silence kills. That's why she goes to schools to encourage other girls to raise their voices against violence and to fight back. "I have managed to escape poverty by my own efforts."

Ashula: "A better life for my daughter"

In Tanzania, every fifth girl becomes pregnant before reaching the age of majority. Contraception and sexuality are traditionally taboo. Pregnant girls like 16-year-old Ashula are excluded from the school system because it is feared that they might have a negative influence on other young people. At the centre of our partner organisation Ebli she attended further education courses for young mothers after the birth of her child. Together with two other girls she now sells smoked fish at markets. She is very happy because she can take care of herself and her child with her earnings.
