The Problem We Fight

Domestic violence destroys families silently. Many victims stay hidden, isolated, and afraid. Speak Up For A Change creates spaces where voices rise, healing starts, and victims turn survivors. This is not charity; this is restoration.

Our Impact, In Their Worlds

I came to SUFAC with nothing but fear and silence. I had lost my sense of self. The counseling sessions didn’t just help me speak again; they helped me believe that I still mattered. I walk differently now. I parent differently. I exist with hope again.
ChinyereSurvivor and mother of two
I was seventeen, angry, confused, and just going through life numb. SUFAC paired me with a mentor who saw me when I couldn’t see myself. Now I mentor others. That’s the difference they made; they helped me become someone I’m proud to be.

My daughter had shut down completely after witnessing abuse. We tried everything. Nothing worked until we found the youth arts and mental health program at SUFAC. She started painting. Then talking. Then laughing again. That laugh saved me too.

When I joined the parenting support group, I thought it would be lectures and judgement. Instead, I found community. Other parents who had made mistakes but were learning to do better. It gave me peace I didn’t know I needed.

I never thought I’d understand how to use a computer, not at my age. But they taught me with patience, with dignity. Now I help my grandchildren with homework. They look at me differently; and I do too.
Mama Bukky, 63
SUFAC gave me more than shelter from my past. They gave me language for what I had been through. They gave me people who didn’t flinch when I told the truth. I didn’t think healing was for people like me; but now I know it is.

You don’t need to do everything. Just do something.

Whether it’s one gift, one skill, one shared message, or one hour of your time; what you give can change someone’s life. Healing doesn’t happen alone. But it can start with you.
