#DIDIHOOD
In solidarity with our sisters trapped in brothels.
With the participation of Didis, helping us meet their needs of sustainable growth & the development of the community, the time spent in brothels has led to the making of a thoughtfully curated four-phased plan.
Set on sturdy foundations of strong relationships, the team remains a constant part of the field, making Field Research & Relationship Building the first steps. Furthermore, the Bridge School then becomes the passage beyond brothels and into freedom.
Meanwhile, Empower Projects enable the women & children to become self-reliant and practice their rights & choices, with alternate means to livelihood.
