We also advocate and support woman and girls, who have been victims or are survivors. Our Trustees play a vital role in making sure that Emerge Worldwide achieves its core purpose. They oversee the overall management and administration of the charity. They also play a vital role in guiding our organisation, shaping and providing strategic direction and guiding the organisation so that our work and goals are in line with our vision. Just as importantly, they support and challenge the management team to enable Emerge Worldwide to grow and thrive, and through this, achieve our mission and that maximise our impact.
