Our Mission

Gender based violence is a global problem requiring a global solution

We need your help to support survivors and make communities safer! Join FADVA’s community by donating today!

Provide sheltering, education, vocational training and support for women and children affected by gender-based violence in Africa. Your support is what makes all this possible. Learn more about how our programs are helping more than 500,000 women and children break free from gender based violence.

A world in which all women have the opportunity to achieve a life free from domestic violence, abuse, and suppression. A world where young girls are able to grow, learn and play without fear of being forced into early marriages. See our impact in the communities we serve.

Our Vision

FADVA currently operates 24 women shelters across the continent. Shelters play a fundamental, mitigating role in responding to, and addressing, violence against women and their children. Shelters offer safe accommodation; they provide opportunities for healing and re-building and play a significant role in interrupting and breaking the cycle of violence.

NOW MORE THAN EVER, WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT!

Over the years, each and everyone of you who has supported us either through donations or volunteering, has played a pivotal role in a woman's life who otherwise might have been another sad statistic. We are extremely appreciative of everything and promise to keep working hard to put an end to violence against women around the world.

This women's day, we are launching our biggest campaign ever; which will unlock newer heights in reporting and responding to domestic violence and child marriages. Our goal is to establish a reporting hotline across all 54 countries, dedicated entirely for reporting and responding to domestic violence calls.

Each location will be staffed 24 hours, 7 days a week and equipped with resources for responding and transporting women away from their abusers. But none of this will be possible without you. That's why we are asking for your support to help us reach our project goal of $380,000.00 to make all this possible.
