We decided to stop whispering
Re A Bua Foundation was founded in December 2025. We are six months old, and we have already learned the most important thing about this work: silence is the abuser's best friend, and we are its enemy.
Why we exist
We were created to advocate for victims and survivors of gender-based violence and to create a safe space for them, particularly minors. Botswana's hardest conversations (child molestation, child abuse, child rape, child exploitation) are the ones we were built to have out loud.

Rooted in advocacy, healing, and empowerment, the foundation creates safe spaces, raises awareness, and offers psychosocial support. Through storytelling, education, and community engagement, Re A Bua Foundation works to break the silence around GBV and build a future where every voice is heard, every child is protected, and every survivor can heal. A survivor of Gender-Based Violence who dedicated herself to become the person she needed when she was young, and also when she was going through GBV.
I became an Activist,I handled and led the case of #justicefortshepi a young girl who's death is questionable with shocking postmortem results that indicated prolonged sexual abuse. I organised the march/ peaceful protest for #justicefortshepi movement.

Governance & accountability
We ask institutions to be accountable, so we hold ourselves to the same standard. Our registration details, board membership and annual reports are published here as they are issued; as a foundation in its first year, our first annual report will cover 2026.
- Registered non-profit foundation, Botswana (registration number published on issue).
- Founder-led, with content and spending approved at board level.
- Financial reports are shared with funders and partners on request: info@reabuafoundation.co.bw.
Safeguarding
Everything we do is safeguarding-first, because our beneficiaries are the people with the most to lose from careless handling:
- No child's face or name appears in our materials without informed, documented consent from a guardian, and never in a way that identifies them as a victim.
- Disclosures are handled by trained facilitators: the child is believed, kept informed, and connected to professional help.
- Survivor pathways on this website never use forms; help is by phone, WhatsApp or walk-in, so no record exists that a survivor didn't choose to create.
- This website carries no advertising trackers and no cookies, so visiting it leaves no commercial trail.
The full safeguarding policy is available to schools, partners and funders: request a copy.
