OPERATION SAFE PLACE · EVERY GIRL SAFE

A safe place for every girl.

Our mission is to keep as many girls safe from abuse, rape, trafficking, and molestation over school holidays and weekends as we can.

WHAT WE DO

Safe spaces when school is out.

School holidays and weekends are when at-risk girls are most alone. Operation Safe Place gives them somewhere safe to be.

We empower local NGOs, humanitarians and churches to identify and support at-risk girls in high-poverty areas. Through collaboration and resource allocation, we help create safe spaces where children can experience security, joy and emotional growth.

WHY WE MAKE GAMES

Feeding people is the easy part.

We started out as youth ministers, running feeding schemes in high-poverty communities.

When you enter someone's trauma, you enter their drama.

Being among those families, we saw the abuse going on behind the hunger. So we grew from feeding kids to taking care of them. As many as we can afford.

For 30 years we did corporate fundraising. It burnt us out. Funders who never see the ground judge every rand you spend, sometimes in public.

Here is the truth. You can get food donated. You can often get volunteers. The heavy lifting is facilities, admin, logistics, fuel, internet and electricity.

So we make games. Our team has spent decades on events, TV and radio ads, indie cinema and music, and we are all gamers. Games are how we unwind from hard days. Building something fun that carries the heavy lifting just made sense. The Web3 side means players can earn a little from what they win while they play.

14,000 children Our vision: the facilities to care for 14,000 children every day, every weekend and every holiday. That is how many young people live in high-poverty areas in our region alone. We are not there yet. Every game you play moves us closer.
