How you can make a difference?

We currently have a project in Cuba where following the successful introduction of video recording of child interviews in Havana, a second centre was opened in the second city, Santiago de Cuba in March 2008. The equipment and installation was funded from donations (see Our Donors page). We now need funds to purchase the equipment and pay for the installation of video recording equipment in two more cities in Cuba. We also anticipate expanding other existing projects, for example in Costa Rica, and will undertake new work elsewhere in Central America and the Caribbean region.

How your money brings change

The CPDT relies entirely on donations to help children in these very difficult circumstances. The developing countries in which work have limited budgets. Once pilot projects have proved the benefits of the system, there is unanimous agreement from all agencies to offer this facility as widely as possible.

Some of the equipment is donated at a very low cost to the charity, often below manufacturing cost or free of charge. Even with these generous gifts we still need funds to pay the remainder of the vital equipment and installation in the centres.

The experience of reporting sexual abuse will always be difficult for children, but with your help, the trauma will be significantly reduced and perpetrators more likely to be brought to justice.

This vital work can only happen with your help.
