This Mental Health Awareness Month, Here’s What You Don’t See—and Why Your Support Matters More Than Ever
At Protect a Girl’s Image Organization (PGIO), we walk beside those society often overlooks—orphans, survivors of abuse, struggling families, young mothers, and youth battling trauma.
You see the smiles, the transformation, and the hope. But behind every success story, there’s an unseen burden—one that we carry to help make healing possible.
The Weight We Carry
Every day, we witness pain most people couldn’t imagine.
We sit with girls who’ve survived rape.
We listen to mothers who have been rejected and left to raise their children alone.
We counsel young people overwhelmed by anxiety, fear, and hopelessness.
We hear the cries.
We absorb the trauma.
We carry the weight—so our beneficiaries don’t have to.
And sometimes, it’s heavy.
There are days we feel broken too. Days we cry behind closed doors. Nights we lie awake wondering how much more we can carry.
But no matter how hard it gets, we get back up.
Because they need us.
Why We Keep Showing Up
Behind the pain, we see strength.
Behind the silence, we hear courage.
Behind the shame, we find stories worth saving.
We keep going because:
Every child deserves more than just survival.
Every young person deserves the chance to heal.
Every single mother deserves support, not shame.
And no one should go through it alone.
This is the heartbeat of PGIO.
This is why we exist.
What Your Support Makes Possible
PGIO isn’t just a name. It’s a safe place. A community. A lifeline.
Because of people like you, we’re able to offer:
- Free therapy and counseling for those who need it most
- Weekly grief support sessions every Saturday afternoon
- Emergency food relief for families in crisis
- School fees for children with no one else to turn to
- Skills training to help our youth build their futures
- Safe, shame-free spaces to begin healing
These aren’t handouts. They’re turning points.
They’re what allow our beneficiaries to breathe, to grow, and to believe again.
