Dear Subscriber,
Last year, at our milestone celebration of ANZCHAM's 40th anniversary, we came together and raised funds for the cause of #SaferKidsPH. As you know by now, ANZCHAM is a private sector partner of this amazing program to help protect Filipino children against the perils of online sexual abuse and exploitation (OSAEC).
After much brainstorming and planning, we are very glad to share with you that the funds we raised last year will go to the construction of a child-friendly space in Barangay Balibago, Angeles City, Pampanga. As pictured above, our partners at UNICEF have met with the local government officials to discuss in earnest how this facility will help them in better law enforcement as well as caring for children who have experienced OSAEC.
What is a child-friendly space? Simply put, a child-friendly space is a facility that will provide the necessary training to strengthen community-based child protection systems already in place, increase protective behaviors of community members, facilitate access to legal and justice systems to children and families, and provide support for those that have been victimized. With proper equipment as well as proper training of relevant personnel in the barangay, the child-friendly space will go towards securing brighter futures for children by shielding and educating them of the harms that inevitably come with the use of the Internet.
Through your generous support at our fundraising last year, we are able to help #SaferKidsPH implement this project. |
