The Lisa Project comes to Kern County
The Lisa Project is an interactive multi-media exhibit allowing visitors to experience the life of an abused or neglected child. The purpose of The Lisa Project is to bring awareness to the Kern County community with the hope to inspire and educate its citizens to report abuse to protect children and strengthen families.

A 20-minute audio tour guides visitors through a room-by-room open house of scenarios depicting child abuse with narration from a child’s perspective.
