Emerge Community Empowerment is a non-profit organization dedicated to preventing and addressing gender-based violence, as well as improving the health and well-being of marginalized communities. We recognize the urgent need to tackle issues like intimate partner violence, domestic violence, and sexual abuse, especially in low-income areas. Our organization is committed to raising awareness, providing comprehensive sexual education that includes gender-based violence education and resources, delivering vital support services, and empowering women and girls to take control of their health and well-being.
Our programs encompass various initiatives such as informal and formal education on health and wellness, education on sexual and gender-based violence, capacity building and training, access to health services and resources, leadership training, and mentorship programs. We work closely with local organizations and community leaders to customize our programs to cater to the specific needs of each community’s individuals.
