What We Do

How It WORKS

Through this structured rescue process, we strive to provide a com prehensive support system that not only addresses immediate needs but also fosters long-term growth and empowerment for each girl we serve.

Identification and Rescue
Our journey begins with identifying at-risk girls who are vulnerable to early marriage and FGM. Through collaboration with local communities, schools, and health work ers, we raise awareness about the dangers these young women face. Once identified, girls are rescued through discreet missions, or they may arrive at our center after being abandoned or fleeing from FGM rituals on their own. Our priority is to ensure their safety and provide immediate protection.
Assessment and Support
Upon arrival at Ilmarba Rescue Center, each girl undergoes a thorough assessment to understand her unique needs and circumstances. Many girls have suffered assault and require medical care, and our dedicated staff provides the necessary support to address their health concerns. We also focus on emotional well-being, offering coun seling and a nurturing environment to help them adjust to their new surroundings.
Establishment in a Caring Home
After their initial assessment, the girls are placed in local homes with caring families who are committed to providing a supportive environment. This step is crucial for fostering a sense of belonging and stability, allowing the girls to heal and thrive in a loving atmosphere.
Education and Vocational Training
Education is at the heart of our mission. We enroll each girl in school and provide access to vocational training programs tailored to her interests and skills. This em powers her with knowledge and practical skills, equipping her for a brighter future and greater independence.
Family Reconciliation
We believe in the importance of family and community. As part of our mission, we work towards reconciling the girls with their families whenever possible. This in volves engaging with parents, community elders, and social workers to facilitate open communication and ensure commitments are made to protect the girls from future harm.
Empowerment and Advocacy
Our commitment to these girls extends beyond their time at the center. We focus on empowering them to become advocates for their own rights and the rights of others in their communities. By fostering leadership skills and encouraging community in volvement, we aim to create a ripple effect of change that benefits future generations.
