PREVENTION

WHAT IS
PREVENTION?

The purpose of Rapha's Prevention program is to help strengthen families and communities and to promote the protection of children from exploitation and abuse.

COMMUNITY
WORKERS

Community Workers provide connection and support to vulnerable families through resources, education, and social support.

FAMILY
RESOURCES

Family Resources includes food distribution and assistance with housing and healthcare emergencies. These resources help strengthen families and make them less vulnerable to exploitation and debt bondage.

EDUCATION
SUPPORT

Education Support for children includes tuition, fees, school uniforms, and supplies. Education is essential for the prevention of trafficking and abuse. Being engaged in an educational system keeps children safer today and in the future.
