Sexual Abuse Prevention and Family Support
Access to safety, dignity, and hope should be every child’s birthright. Tragically, children in many regions face the risks of abuse, exploitation, and neglect—often intensified by poverty, disaster, or lack of opportunity. Through our Orphan’s Promise programs, Operation Blessing is committed to protecting vulnerable children and keeping families together through education, training, and compassionate programs. By empowering communities with prevention education and practical support, we help provide children and families with tools to resist abuse and break cycles of exploitation.
The stories and programs below highlight real ways Operation Blessing is making a difference in sexual abuse prevention, family empowerment, and educational outreach around the world.
Protecting Vulnerable Kids from Predators in Latin America
Operation Blessing implemented a prevention and education program in Latin America called “Yo Digo No” or I Say No to help children recognize and report signs of sexual abuse. By training teachers and caregivers, the charity equips communities to keep children safe from predators. This effort blends direct support with awareness campaigns, ensuring that families and children are informed about dangers and know how to seek help. By focusing on prevention education, Operation Blessing strengthens communities’ ability to protect their youngest and most vulnerable members while helping families stay together in challenging circumstances.
