Is walking alone at night the only concern in the villages and nearby communities? Are there any additional personal safety and/or sexual assault concerns for female students on the trip?
ThinkImpact’s programs are set up to ensure that no participant ever has to be, or should be, alone, outside of their private quarters. Safety precautions are emphasized daily, concerns are responded to immediately by staff, and emergency contacts are distributed before the trip departs. Sexual assault and personal safety for both males and females on the program is an important concern, and though we do not anticipate any such emergencies, we will provide students necessary information for them to protect themselves and steps to take should any problems arise. After developing a relationship with the communities in Kayafungo and Manyeleti over several years, ThinkImpact has great confidence in its local contacts including community members and area businesses that provide premier services if needed.
