matla a bana - a voice against child abuse

Today I attended a networking function and one of the speakers at the function was Ingrid Botha, the fundraising and marketing manger for matla a bana - a voice against child abuse.  The charity aims to minimise the secondary abuse of children.  This occurs when a child needs to their case of abuse reported at the police station and the police do not understand how to deal with the young victims.  Matla a bana aims to educate the police with regards to how to handle these young victims so that they do not suffer this secondary abuse when they report their cases.  Matla a bana helps to maintain the mini-police stations that they have to these young victims and they need your assistance in this regard.  They see children from a young age up to the age of 18, and they need your assistance in making a difference in these childrens' lives.  If you would like to assist or need more information about how you can help, please contact Ingrid Botha on 083 560 7010 or ingridb@iburst.co.za
