Long Organization Description

We are Savera UK and we are speaking out.

We campaign to eliminate ‘honour’-based abuse and harmful practices and provide life-saving services to those at risk, regardless of age, culture, sexuality or gender.

Established in 2010, we are a leading charity tackling culturally-specific abuse in the UK, including forced marriage and female genital mutilation. We advocate for those who need a voice and offer a completely confidential and non-judgemental service.
SUPPORTING SURVIVORS
Since launching our one-to-one service in 2017, we have supported hundreds of clients out of abusive environments into their Savera – meaning ‘new beginning’.

We help survivors of ‘honour’-based abuse and harmful practices to rebuild their lives. By providing emotional and practical support, we help them to gain economic independence and move forward into their future with confidence.
CHALLENGING HARMFUL ATTITUDES & PRACTICES
We don’t just address the effects of ‘honour’-based abuse and harmful practices. We tackle the causes as well.

We speak out to challenge harmful attitudes, prejudice and practices that violate individual human rights and educate and empower others so they can join our fight.

We contribute to research, provide consultancy and deliver training to raise awareness of harmful practices and their signs among people outside of at-risk communities. We also campaign to encourage everyone – as well as specific affected communities – to recognise and report instances of ‘honour’ based violence and abuse.

SOLACE SG is a voluntary group working to improve the quality of life for people living with Sickle Cell and Thalassemia. You can help us by attending our monthly gatherings and becoming a member.

SOLACE?s main objective is to improve the quality of life of those patients living with sickle cell and Thalassemia in Hackney, not excluding every patient attending sickle cell services at the Homerton hospital from other boroughs.

We believe in a holistic approach to the care and management of sickle cell with specific focus on improving quality of life (QoL).

SOLACE was found in early 2016 after the transformation of the existing patient support group which had existed for some years. Sickle cell patients locally, voted to appoint new members of the Board in 2016 in a view to transform the objectives of the group.
The new leadership has focused on building on the legacy of supporting and advocating for patients living with sickle cell in Hackney.

Long Organization Description

 

 

Women4africa is a UK registered organisation focused on ?celebrating? and empowering ?Africa and its women by supporting and ?celebrating their role in their communities via Conferences, supporting education and Awarding prestigious awards, recognitions and special honours on such women identified and nominated by the public.

?Women4africa? was birthed from a 20 year desire and passion to see women honoured and appreciated in a celebratory way. Overtime, African women have often been portrayed as victims of poverty, violence, and conflict, amongst other disasters. Beyond advocating and engaging them to fight against these negativities, it is equally important to highlight that African women are also ?agents of positive change? in their communities. It is their sheer determination, ambition, passion, talent, resourcefulness and drive which often forgotten in the stories of this women that Women for Africa intend to promote. We exist to support and encourage African women to excel in all they do.

Africa has over 53 countries and a large number of women who are unique and different in their own individual ways. Women of all walks of life tend to face a lot of challenges in today?s society. However, many African women have been great examples of success worldwide promoting peace in conflict-inflicted areas and contributing to the increased resources in their nations. Our popular ?Women4africa Awards? is one of the many ways we celebrate and honour these powerful women. The Awards is one of our major events held annually at a prestigious London venue where a number of nominated women are awarded for their hard work and creativity.

WHAT WOMEN FOR AFRICA DOES

We work in 3 main areas to support African women and girls. We do this by working and supporting ?key charities, policymakers; engage communities and ?Africans themselves to address this crucial issue. To do this, we put together evidence-based projects focused on awareness raising and support, against the backdrop of our key areas of work.
