UMBRELLA HEARTS RIBBON
The Umbrella is a symbol of protection, and orange is a bright, happy colour that children deserve to be. Wearing the ribbon demonstrates your commitment to safeguarding children, raising awareness, and opposing abuse in all forms.
​
Program Mission:
- 
Raise awareness of violence and abuse against children. 
- 
Encourage individuals to take a stand, report abuse, and foster community responsibility. 
- 
Promote the understanding that no child deserves to live in fear, poverty, or harm. 
- 
Reinforce that abuse is a criminal act and never the victim's fault. 
​
Launched in 2015 by Hearts and Hands, the Umbrella Hearts Ribbon Campaign aims to unite communities in protecting vulnerable children. Wearing the ribbon signifies a promise to speak out against abuse and advocate for every child’s safety and well-being.
Together, the community can ensure a brighter future for all children.
