Here is our current project information for Ghana, Sierra Leone, and Rwanda:
With the help of the Ark Foundation in Ghana, we are now doing monthly sensitizations with the Kayayei women in Accra. These women typically live in very harsh conditions with lack to resources and education. Unsilenced Voices is providing a safe space to report any injust and educate these women about their rights.
Children whose mothers are survivors of domestic violence received school materials under financial support of UNSILENCENCED VOICES in Rwanda. They are happy, thankful and promised to work hard at school so that they will make their mothers so strong more than they are now.
In Sierra Leone, We have began a program call SINAVA Women. This is a group of women formed by Unsilenced Voices from the out cast of Bo city, aimed at empowering our women and girls through sustainable livelihood.....
"It feels amazing to know when you're actually growing as a woman.
To recognize you're making better decisions .
Our culture needs to be influenced by women who are wise, resourceful, accountable, secured in their womanhood and aware of their feminine power.."
And so we observed our first official opening yesterday of which our able Director Phillip Momoh and our Manager Tejan Kabia were present, and also the Area chief, Religious leaders and other stakeholders were in attendance and they all made a statement on the theme " A woman is the full circle, within her is the power to create, nurture and transform"
