Child Sexual Abuse Project (CSA)

In 2005, with the assistance of the Swiss Embassy we undertook a study about child sexual abuse. The results of that study put us in a position to start a project in 2007 offering a holistic service for the children affected and their concerned families.
We also participated in the "World Day Prevention of Child Abuse 2007" and launched an awareness campaign “Give a Voice”.
Details can be seen here.

 

 

Fees

CONTACT is a charitable organisation dedicated to serve the community.
Therefore, it makes every effort to secure funds from various donors in order to run its programmes. The counselling services are offered free of charge to the public. Donations are welcome in cash or kind.

For the training courses and the workshops, though, a minimal fee is charged depending on the duration and the type of the activity. Workshops for People living with HIV/AIDS are free of charge.

CONTACT nevertheless welcomes requests from service providers in all sectors, and is willing to negotiate reduced charges for a worthy cause.

 

 

CONTACT and HIV/AIDS

As has been extensively noted above, CONTACT is actively involved in activities related to HIV/AIDS through counselling patients and their families and being involved in prevention through training and information dissemination.

CONTACT is offering basic counselling skills courses to people living with Aids (PLWHA) through the community support groups.
