FUNDACION MUNASIM KULLAKITA
EL ALTO LA PAZ, Bolivija
Opis
Fundación Munasim Kullakita operates "Hogar Trampolín" in Bolivia, a specialized center providing comprehensive protection and rights restitution for girls and female adolescents who are survivors of human trafficking and sexual exploitation. The volunteer supports the lead psychologist in the emotional recovery and identity reconstruction of survivors aged 10-17. The mission focuses on three axes: helping residents recognize themselves as victims to overcome guilt, empowering them as survivors through resilience, and fostering the ability to project a constructive future. Daily tasks include conducting psychological evaluations to guide staff interventions and providing individual and group therapeutic support tailored to cognitive development and cultural backgrounds. The volunteer assists in drafting monthly follow-up, monthly, and reintegration reports for legal authorities. A critical active component involves providing emotional containment during legal proceedings.
