Thanks to your donation, the Sambol Foundation is helping

In the shelter of the Sambol Foundation, women affected by violence and their children receive:

First aid: Many women flee immediately after an act of violence and need medical and psychological care.

Loving and protected accommodation: The women should be able to feel safe again in the community. Common household chores such as cooking, washing or cleaning give the women a daily structure.

Psychological support: Those affected receive psychological support in several sessions so that they can better deal with the trauma they have experienced (resilience). In coaching sessions they get to know their rights and learn how they can better protect themselves and their children from violence in the future.

Training: The women take part - adapted to their previous knowledge - in literacy, computer or training courses - for example to become a seamstress. This increases the chance of starting a new, non-violent life thanks to financial independence.

Legal support: if there is evidence, it will be documented. The women are encouraged to report the perpetrator (s). You will receive legal support during any legal proceedings.

Administrative help: e.g. when children of affected women change schools for safety reasons.

Every donation is valuable - thank you very much for your support.
