In 2019, our founder, Francesca Raoelison, shared her story publicly for the first time. She spoke about emotional abuse.
Thousands of messages came in from people who recognized the same patterns in their own lives: the criticism, the control, the way certain words stay with you long after they’re spoken.
This wasn’t one person’s experience. It was a shared reality that had been invisible because we didn’t have the language, the framework, or the spaces to address it.
Resources for prevention, especially culturally grounded, community-led approaches, barely existed. So we built one.
Shifted trainings and support groups online during lockdown, with one video going viral and significantly broadening reach, particularly among young survivors and victims.
As we grew, building a strong foundation was critical.
We are headquartered in the United States as a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.
Madagascar has been the hub of our innovation and our model is ready to be replicated across the island and beyond.
In parallel, we have expanded our work in the U.S. as well as a network of global ambassadors across 11 countries worldwide.
