RAINBO CENTRE

RAINBO CENTRE SERVICES AND WHO CAN ACCESS THEM

The Rainbo Centres are open to anyone, regardless of gender, who has experienced rape or sexual assault. In addition, the centres in Bo, Kenema, Kono, Makeni, and Kambia also provide services to survivors of physical assault. These safe spaces offer free medical treatment and psychosocial services, creating an environment where survivors of sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) can find healing, empowerment, and support to rebuild their lives.

At the Rainbo Centres, we prioritize our values and ensure that each survivor’s wishes and choices are respected. Our trained staff treat every individual with care and maintain strict confidentiality.
