SCAR will protect children at risk using international safeguarding standards, equip organisations and empower children to protect themselves

Based on its core values of respect, excellence, being child-friendly and trustworthy, Samalani Children at Risk Network (SCAR )brings churches and organisations in Lusaka together to promote messages of zero tolerance for child abuse. The network conducts activities and provides training to help children be safe, thrive, and learn, such as ‘Safe Talks,’ life skills lessons using ‘Flourish’ material developed by Viva India, as well as discipleship. SCAR is an active participant in Viva’s World Weekend of Prayer, Good Treatment Campaigns and Christmas Parties..

Teddy Mutuna
Network Leader

“Being connected to Viva has benefited me a lot in building capacity, connecting and understanding more about dealing with children and how to work with them. I have come to understand networking properly from the Networking Course and interacting with others from other networks what they are doing.”
