Our organisation is named after the Quetzal, a beautiful South American bird that is prized for its colourful feathers. Legend has it that the Quetzal dies when caged and so it has become a symbol of freedom. At the Quetzal Project we help women to break down the bars of their psychological cages and gain freedom. We empower vulnerable women to transform their lives by supporting their recovery from the trauma of childhood sexual abuse.

Story

In 2021-2022, 426 women referred themselves to Quetzal, wanting to live free from the trauma of childhood sexual abuse. It is a 63% increase compared to 2020-2021 (n=261).

To manage the increased demand, Quetzal recruited new counsellors, going from 13 to 50 in total.

Our waiting time to start counselling went from 3 to 6 months.

Please donate and fundraise so we can recruit a volunteer manager who will supervise volunteers and do case allocation, reducing in turn our waiting list.

You can also connect your fundraising page to this campaign!

Your support is more than ever needed! So women who took the steps to start their journey towards recovery do not have to wait.
