On 10th December 2015 Fountain of Life began dissemination of "Breaking the Silence" church tool kit. The tool kit is a resource that was published to help churches, church leaders and church bodies respond and create a safe place for victims of defilement, rape and sexual assault effectively.

The workshop was held at Korea Garden Lodge and there were over forty (40) church leaders from Lilongwe. The participants were introduced to FOL, what it does and were shown how to use the tool kit. The same story used in the awareness campaigns in schools was also used  for the demonstration. The purpose of the tool kit is to help churches "Break the Silence" and begin talking about defilement and rape, how to help/respond to victims, support needed, the services available for victims, effects of not helping victims and preventive measures.

The participants were very attentive and engaged actively in the discussions. Most were enlightened and learnt a lot of things like the One Stop Centers, getting medical attention within 72 hours, and that there is an organization (FOL) that focuses on the victim. They received hard copies of the tool kit and also soft copies. They expressed a need for FOL to reach more church leaders and FOL is planning to carry out more workshops to train more church leaders in 2016.
