Protecting Children Through Education, Awareness & Community Support
Each year in the United States, at least 1 in 7 children experience abuse or neglect. Children with disabilities are especially vulnerable—three times more likely to suffer maltreatment and at higher risk for serious injury or harm. Families navigating rare diseases or complex medical conditions often face systemic challenges, such as stress, isolation, and limited support, which can increase vulnerability.
Our Mission
Through our Child Abuse & Neglect Prevention initiative, the E.WE Foundation is committed to:
✅ Educating families and caregivers about the signs, risks, and prevention of abuse and neglect
✅ Empowering children with skills to recognize unsafe situations
✅ Providing training for professionals—including educators, healthcare providers, and advocates—on recognizing and responding to abuse
✅ Strengthening protective factors through mental health, community support, and advocacy resources
✅ Raising awareness across communities through outreach campaigns and collaborative events
We believe that mental health support and child protection go hand-in-hand. Preventing abuse starts with strengthening families and communities—emotionally, socially, and mentally.
