As a grassroots community base initiative, we work with parents and families, Africa town groups and community leaders by organising a town-hall interactive and informative sessions using resource materials to educate and inform our community of the real danger of child sexual abuse and exploitation, and our individual and collective responsibility to protect our children.

We continue to explore the social media with our interactive audience forum by encouraging our community to add and liken our project to their social media page, then we can sent and receive information from our community.

Since most of Africa town groups are our members, we use the link to communicate via email and text messages about our project and as it affect our community.

We use other publication outreach like leaflets, cards, fliers, magazines and other information resources to create awareness and highlight our project in our community. We provided helpline and phone service to make it easier for our community to contact us.

We also deal with some socio-cultural and family issues that prevent our community from speaking out by removing the fear factors and other impediments that frustrate and intimidate our community from speaking out.

We have one project officer for each project location at Derby, Leicester and Nottingham to supervise our members and team of volunteers, and assign one management committee member to coordinate and run this project for three years.

Our office is open from 9am to 5pm, Monday to Friday to run our project effectively. Our helpline telephone hours will be increase to a 24hours service so that our community can get help anytime.
