Empowering Women and Children, Building Stronger Communities
The United Nations stipulates it, and at Chefusirri Foundation, we believe that gender equality and the protection of human rights – especially for women and children – are fundamental to a thriving society.
Unfortunately, these vulnerable groups often bear the brunt of violence and discrimination. Women in our communities frequently experience gender-based violence, while children face various forms of abuse in schools and other settings. The devastating effects of this violence are far-reaching, encompassing not only physical harm but also profound psychological and economic consequences. As a result, victims often withdraw, making it difficult for them to reach their full potential.
Our Approach: Education, Empowerment, and Advocacy
We are committed to addressing these critical issues head-on. Chefusirri Foundation educates women and children about their civic rights and obligations, equipping them with essential knowledge. We also recognize the importance of engaging men, who are often the perpetrators in reported cases of violence. Our holistic approach ensures that everyone in the community is part of the solution. Beyond education, our dedicated team of lawyers provides legal defense for victims when needed, ensuring they have access to justice.
Investing in Our Future
Women are the pillars of our society, and children are our future. By empowering and guiding them, we are not just helping individuals; we are building a better society for everyone. Chefusirri Foundation is dedicated to giving back, “crowning queens” by not only empowering women and girls but also by raising all children—girls and boys—to be respectful, responsible, and aware of their rights and responsibilities. Our commitment is to foster a community where everyone can thrive.

The statistics are stark: one in three women worldwide has experienced physical and/or sexual violence from a partner in their lifetime. Sadly, Africa disproportionately bears the brunt of this human rights violation.
Sexual abuse is very rarely reported and/or investigated even when reported particularly in sub-Saharan Africa. Most of these cases occur before age 24. Women and girls are at higher risk of being victims with at least 1 in 5 girls experiencing sexual violence during their college years.
