F.A.C.A.A.
We are a non- profit organization set up to end child abuse by breaking the cycle of abuse.
To finally break the cycle of child abuse through the use of counselling, mentoring life coaching, job placement and martial arts and combat sports as a whole. As well as promotion and information to really shine a light on a problem that all to often gets swept under a rug. There is a greater evil that we must fear than evil men/women and that is the indifference of good men/women. To sit idly by and do nothing while you know a wrong act is being perpetrated is as wrong as the act itself.
F.A.C.A.A has contributed greatly toward Sowilo via providing support through merchandise associated with our BJJ
program, and general promotion of our unique C.A.R.E school. Many thanks!
