Global Welfare Association

GLOWA is a not-for-profit organization in special consultative status with the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) that is dedicated to standing against the trafficking and exploitation of children in Cameron through education and training.

Set up by survivors, GLOWA draws from the experiences of its members to works in breaking the vicious cycle of child sex and labour trafficking to actively protecting present-day children from experiencing a childhood of abuse and exploitation. Our work aims to build abuse resistant communities and nurture a culture of respect for human rights, particularly those of children and women and fight against the systematic abuses faced by the most vulnerable.

At the core of our interventions is GLOWAHaus, which is our healing and empowerment facility running modular recovery programs comprising of soft skills, hard skills and economic empowerment. Transitional shelter support to rescued survivors is offered through an integrated in-the-community program with longer-term plans for a dedicated facility. GLOWAHaus is designed to drive a critical shift in the mindset of program participants from victim-hood and dependency to survival and independence. 

We are on a mission to create an adequate space for the active participation of survivors in global counter trafficking drive. By documenting and transforming survivor’s experiences into engagement tools, GLOWA is standing against child sex and labour trafficking through education and training.
