Child marriage continues to rob girls of education, health, and opportunity — especially in vulnerable counties where poverty, climate shocks, and entrenched social norms sustain harmful practices like early betrothal, beading, and bride price. This initiative calls on faith‑based organizations to harness their influence and moral authority to protect children and shift community attitudes.
Selected partners will integrate child protection messages into sermons, gatherings, and faith education platforms, while strengthening early warning systems and confidential reporting mechanisms. Collaboration with government and justice actors ensures cases are identified, reported, and prosecuted, with survivor‑centered responses that uphold dignity and protection principles.
By engaging men, boys, and faith leaders, the programme reinforces accountability and builds sustainable prevention systems at the community level. The goal is clear: stronger reporting, higher conviction rates, and lasting change in harmful social norms.
💡 Significant support available — up to six‑figure funding in local currency for faith‑based organizations leading community interventions.
