Protect Them B4 Abuse Begins: Students ages 5-17

Lina has been angry most of her life. Today, at 12, she does not know how to handle her anger. Her mother has thrown in the towel, for when Lina has one of her anger attacks, she throws things, destroys her toys, and screams so loud that all the neighbors can hear her.
When the mother heard that there was a session at Not Guilty for controlling anger, she immediately booked for her daughter in the hope that Lina would learn something that could help her.
As Lina learned about the anger thermometer and the healthy options to let anger out without hurting herself or others, she felt she needed to talk to someone in more depth.
Her mother booked her a counseling session with one of Not Guilty's trained counselors. The counselor discovered that Lina had been sexually abused by a neighbor for the past three years. The neighbor babysat Lina when her parents were not available. Lina felt shame and guilt. She was also afraid to tell her parents lest they blame her for the abuse. Her abuser said to her that no one would believe her.
Playing with the doll house during the sessions, Lina hid in the closet with a pillow in front of her so her abuser would not find her.
Lina is just one of many children that Not Guilty helps.
In 2023, Not Guilty has been able to train over 1500 kids with anti-sexual abuse and anti-bullying training. Not Guilty has also counseled over 30 kids and adults.
Many girls like Lina need your help and the help that Not Guilty provides.

Summer vacations are fun, but sometimes it can get quite boring for kids, especially if their parents are working parents and the kids need to stay home.
That is why, this summer, Not Guilty had a summer program twice a week called Motamayezin, or You Are Unique in English.
The sessions targeted boys and girls aged 8-12, and we had sessions on boundaries, sexual abuse, gender, self-worth, anger management, Knowing yourself, Your gifts, and many other things.
The session lasts two hours each and is all activities, between games, clay, crayons, slime, and movies.
In Egypt, schools do not start until the end of September, so we still have more time to go.
Until today, we have about 30 kids who went through the program and are bringing their friends in.
We also performed those sessions with 40 Al Samery al Saleh orphanage kids.
The importance of presenting the message in a relevant and fun way is crucial for the Not Guilty team.
