A sanctuary wall to protect vulnerable young girls.

Christine’s house is a locally run facility for the benefit of 20 -25 vulnerable young girls. These precious girls have been chosen as the most severe and urgent from around 400 victims in our community to live here for nine months to receive trauma counselling, care through their pregnancies, delivery of their babies, care and advice through early motherhood, education and sustainable life skills. They are trying to heal from the most terrible sexual acts. Christine’s House and surroundings are peaceful and beautiful but just a chain link fence created the boundaries where the neighbouring villages were outside distractions, influences and a reminder of a life these girls are moving away from. The wall has created sanctuary and ensured a secure, safe space of privacy. Also the security of the sanctuary wall promotes a positive mental healing space. This phase of the wall includes providing privacy for the outdoor washroom.
