WHAT WE DO
Using our existing influence in the community/country we have are united resources to bring awareness initiatives that will empower children with knowledge so that they don't fall victims of the vice due to ignorance.
Causes
-
Inadequate sensitisation is a major contributor to the increase in the number of victims as well as believers in the vice hence the awareness campaign in schools as a starting point
-
Wealth - some business men and women believe witchcraft can help them to become rich/ richer (Anti Human Task Force – Uganda)
-
Power and fortune – some politicians believe that through sacrifice they can achieve yet more power and influence. In the elections of 2016, there were more cases reported of child sacrifice than ever before
-
Cleansing - witch doctors and many others who practice the ritual of sacrifice believe that through draining blood from the victims they can be cleansed
-
Growth of the construction industry – as many people invest in property, there is more construction than ever before in the country, and many believe to succeed they need human blood and sacrifice
Effects of child sacrifice
