Protect young girl survivors of sexual abuse

Construction started in march 2018 and now you can see work in progress.

We really need you to help us to build this new shelter in Silay, in the province of Negros Occidental, in order to facilitate the protection, personal reconstruction and reintegration of 40 young girls victim of sexual abuse (5-23 years old).

They will be provided with the opportunity to go to school, participate in sports, and receive medical/psychological care as well as legal assistance when they wish to sue their aggressors.

Sports and physical activity play an integral role in the education and personal rehabilitation of the children at CAMELEON. They are considered good therapeutically as they allow children to come out of their shells, feel well, have fun and build a positive image of themselves especially for girls who have been victims of sexual abuse.

Every year circus professionals from France come to CAMELEON Philippines as volunteers as part of the partnership with the Ecole Nationale des Arts du Cirque de Rosny-sous-Bois (ENACR). This team of trainers works with those girls who show motivation and talent for circus arts. These girls then run circus training at the centers for the rest of the year.

Coaching sessions and workshops to develop core skills are also offered, such as basketball, volleyball, badminton, table tennis, dance and Taekwondo. Leisure activities are also regularly organized such as outdoor games, summer camp, and dance and music workshops. Together, they help build positive values, personal development and solidarity among the children.

CAMELEON will also raise awareness on Children's rights at local and national levels.
