Why OTV?
Because too many responses come after the harm is done.
We focus on what happens before—working in villages to protect girls, reduce vulnerability, and create lasting change from the ground up.
Most interventions begin at the point of crisis—when harm has already occurred, and options are limited.
By that stage, the pathways are harder to change, and the cost—especially for girls—is already significant.
OTV exists to work earlier than that.
Not after exploitation, but before the conditions that make it more likely.
This means being present in communities over time.
Building trust with families.
Supporting girls in ways that reduce both immediate pressure and long-term risk
It is not a single intervention.
It is consistent, local, and relational work.
Prevention is harder to measure and often less visible.
Success is not always obvious—it looks like harm that never happens.
But this is where lasting change begins.
Presence in villages
Consistent presence in communities—building trust with families over time, not arriving only in moments of crisis.
Reducing pressure
Supporting girls and families in ways that reduce immediate financial and social pressure—so decisions are not made under strain.
Strengthening environments
Working beyond the individual—helping create safer, more supportive environments where girls have real options.
