The child sexual abuse prevention initiative to protect children in St. Lucia from sexual abuse, today and for generations to come...

Picture






​Linda Saturno and Kelly Stutts met in May 2016 when Linda attended a Darkness to Light Facilitator Workshop hosted by Connect 4 Faith. Linda was soon to be on her way to St. Lucia. Her mission: to spend the next year there as a Peace Corps Response Volunteer Social Work Specialist, assisting the Government of Saint Lucia in meeting child protection mandates as outlined in the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC). Linda worked tirelessly to educate the people of St. Lucia in child sexual abuse prevention. Services are limited and prevention is critical to help the children in the Eastern Caribbean, where it's estimated 1 in 4 are victims of CSA (child sexual abuse). 

Kelly is a Certified Instructor with Darkness to Light (D2L) and went to St. Lucia as a trainer of trainers. Through training new Authorized Facilitators to lead Stewards of Children sessions throughout St. Lucia, knowledge and awareness is spread. Teachers and citizens have become better equipped and trained to prevent the horrible crimes of child sexual abuse. Kelly is passionate about helping to effect cultural change to eradicate child sexual abuse and exploitation. 
​
Help fund this initiative in a country where the average median income is $11,000 USD. Funds are needed to support facilitators in St. Lucia to provide continued training and materials. They need to be equipped to teach others how to better protect children and change the culture to one in which child sexual abuse is not tolerated.
