The rehabilitation programme is designed

**Phase 1: Psychological and Emotional**
**Restoration**
In the initial phase, the focus is on
psychological healing and emotional
restoration. Women will engage in a variety
of activities aimed at personal growth and
recovery. This phase takes place over a
five-day week, from 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM, at
a rehabilitation centre. Activities included
counselling, educational sessions, and in-
house skill-building exercises to foster
mental well-being and resilience.
**Phase 2: Vocational Training and Job**
**Readiness**
Once women had made progress in the
first phase, the focus shifts to vocational
training. Based on individual assessments
of each woman's talents and skills, this|
|||phase is tailored to equip them with the
necessary knowledge and abilities to
pursue gainful employment.|

## **Achievements and Performance**
SORP reference
|Summary of the main
achievements of the charity,
identifying the difference the
charity’s work has made to
the circumstances of its
beneficiaries and any wider
benefits to society as a
whole.|Para 1.20|The charity raised £15,339.78 exceeding
target. The money will be sent to Ellilta
Woman At Risk to help to support woman
through their rehabilitation programme.
The women in the programme ranged in
age from 26 to 32 years, with 72% of them
having one or more child.
Initially, 85% of the women were struggling
with addiction to alcohol, chat (a stimulant),
and cigarettes. After six months of
intensive therapy, this percentage
significantly decreased to 30%. The
reduction in addiction rates not only
improved the lives of the women
themselves but also positively impacted
their children and families. The next phase
moves to vociational training / job
placement.
This phase of the program demonstrates
both the challenges and success of the
rehabilitation journey, highlighting the
critical need for continued support to
ensure long-term recovery.
Moving forward, Ellilta will focus on
providing sustained assistance to the
women who have successfully transitioned
into employment, while also reaching out to
those who dropped out or returned to
prostitution to offer them further guidance
and support. The ultimate goal is to equip
all participants with the tools and resources
necessary to build a stable and fulfilling
future, free from the hardships of their past.||
