Four interconnected pillars guiding all of our work.

Our Strategy

Ba Futuru's strategic plan is built on four interconnected pillars that guide all of our work across Timor-Leste. These pillars reflect our holistic approach to sustainable peace-building.

Equipping children with knowledge to defend themselves from violence and abuse. Training educators, parents, police, and community leaders in community-based protection and justice system access.

Reducing Violence
Pillar 2

Reducing Violence

Preventing violence against children, women, and vulnerable populations through education and outreach. Advocating for stronger laws, networks, and protection systems at all governance levels.

Empowering Women
Pillar 3

Empowering Women

Building on gender equality work to enhance women's economic and social empowerment. Developing female leaders as change agents with training in decision-making and leadership skills.
