Help Women & Girls Escape Domestic Abuse and SGBV

Dear Donors and Supporters of Unsilenced Voices,

We are thrilled to share with you the incredible success of our most recent trip to Sierra Leone, where we made a profound impact on the lives of those in need. Thanks to your generous support, we were able to assist over 30 school survivors and provide assistance to more than 60 sex workers. We also helped two villages with over 1,400 people through agriculture, education and savings box programs.  This trip was truly a transformative experience for everyone involved, and we cannot express enough gratitude for your continued belief in our mission.

Throughout our time in Sierra Leone, we had the privilege of collaborating with the remarkable TV show, The Fixers, which will be airing on BYU in late 2023. This collaboration allowed us to amplify our efforts and shed light on the challenges faced by the vulnerable populations we serve. By combining our resources and expertise, we were able to create a lasting infrastructure that will continue to benefit the community long after our departure.

We would also like to extend our deepest appreciation to our dedicated volunteers, Melanie Hicks and Gaylene Popovski, who selflessly dedicated their time and energy to join our team on this journey. Their unwavering commitment and passion for our cause made a tremendous difference in the lives of the individuals we assisted. Their presence and support were invaluable, and we are grateful to have had them as part of our team.

During our trip, we worked tirelessly to ensure that every survivor received the care and support they needed. Through our comprehensive programs, we provided access to education, counseling, and vocational training to empower the survivors to rebuild their lives with dignity and hope. Additionally, we implemented a wide range of initiatives to offer essential resources and support to sex workers, aiming to create safer working conditions and opportunities for alternative livelihoods.

Through our collective efforts, we were able to build a sustainable infrastructure that will serve as a beacon of hope for the community. This accomplishment would not have been possible without your unwavering support, which continues to drive our mission forward.

Once again, we express our deepest gratitude for your incredible generosity. Your donations and support have made an indelible mark on the lives of those we serve in Sierra Leone. As we move forward, we remain committed to our mission of amplifying the voices of the silenced and marginalized. Your belief in our cause inspires us to keep striving for positive change and reminds us that together, we can make a difference.

Thank you for being an invaluable part of Unsilenced Voices.

With heartfelt appreciation,

Michelle Jewsbury | CEO Unsilenced Voices
