The Southern Africa Regional Network against Trafficking and Abuse of Children (SANTAC) has emerged from different initiatives of SADC’s civil society to join efforts and work together at national, regional and international level against all manifestations of trafficking and abuse of children in Southern Africa.
SANTAC is a legal, humanitarian, non-governmental, non-partisan, non-religious, non-profitmaking, and financially, administratively and patrimonially autonomous organization committed to the fight against trafficking and abuse of children in Southern Africa.
Funded in partnership with the Mozambican Foundation for Community Development (FDC) and Terre des hommes of Germany (TDH), under the patronage of Graça Machel and Archbishop Desmond Tutu, it constitutes a forum of different national and international governmental and non-governmental organizations aimed at the prevention of trafficking and abuse of children through networking, awareness, research, training, lobby and advocacy, cooperation, child participation and service delivery to the victims.
