Sponsorship for girls and women
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 managed to escape poverty through my own efforts.»
