Who we are

Family Protection Association (FAMPRO) was founded by a group of professionals specialising in the care, support, and intervention services related to victims of gender-based violence, family, and child abuse and neglect.

It is our aim to be the warriors that support the weak in their time of dire need.

Why We Exist

Our team of experienced professionals have always been passionate about victims of family abuse of any kind. And looking at statistics of abuse and violence in families have shown us shocking numbers BUT what they never show is how many of the victims are saved.

Fees and costs are associated with access to justice at every stage of the legal process. Such expenses constitute a major barrier for those who cannot afford them. That’s when we realized how many victims were stuck in their environment only because of a lack of financial resources.

Family protection association has been established to fight when nobody else wants to. Our main focus is to protect those who can’t protect themselves regardless of age, race or financial situation! We believe that every small step is a step in the right direction!
