At Salma Attah Foundation for Women and Girls Support (SAFWGS), the trust of the women, girls and communities we serve comes first. These policies set out how we protect people from harm, handle personal information, avoid conflicts of interest and respond when something goes wrong. They apply to our Board, staff, volunteers, consultants and partners. Read them, share them, and hold us to them.
If you are worried that someone working with SAFWGS has harmed a child or an adult, misused funds or broken our policies, please tell us. You do not need proof. You can report anonymously, and we will protect anyone who speaks up in good faith.
If someone is in immediate danger, contact the police or emergency services first, then let us know.
