Child sexual abuse destroys lives. The growth of technology means this is happening to children on a scale never seen before. The impact of this type of abuse means many never speak up.

  • "MCF don’t just work with survivors and our lived experiences, they help us to tell it in a way that we are safe, and we feel comfortable and respected. "No more harm" is not just words it’s their philosophy."

  • "We commissioned Marie Collins Foundation to carry out a harmful sexual behaviour review at one of our primary schools. The review was forensic, but supportive in nature, and led to several practical recommendations which have enabled us to strengthen our approach to the prevention and response to harmful sexual behaviour. "

    James Head of Safeguarding.

  • "Saigon Children’s Charity had the pleasure to collaborate with The Marie Collins Foundation in a project named ‘Linh and Danh’s Online Adventure’. The project developed and provided children and families in underserved communities with various materials including comic book, cartoon, lesson plans, and parent guidance regarding basic knowledge in cyber safety. Thanks to MCF's expertise and commitment, the project has laid a foundation of proper online conducts and helped at least 50,000 primary students in Vietnam be safer on the Internet."
