Program Overview

The mission of this program is to support the women of Mombasa who have suffered greatly in society. The Women's Empowerment program aims to assist vulnerable women as they work toward a better life for themselves and their families. Volunteers work alongside our local team to support approximately 300 women around the community, including those with HIV/AIDS. The program also involves economic development initiatives that continue helping women and their families into the future.

It is important to recognize that participants will be working with extremely vulnerable women in the community and visiting areas of Mombasa such as the slums. Thus, they need to collaborate with local staff and community leaders to improve the situation of these women. This program truly empowers women and helps them to achieve a brighter future.

Umuthu buthu gabathu

It was really an exploration in all areas of my life, i learned how other countries welcome people, their culture, traditional foods, their hospitality, you are a human being through other people, with ought other people you are not called a person, and its only by people its when you can know yourself oneself`s relays in other people. if you go out there from your family you get a bigger family from the one you have and learn a lot as you will be able to see things in a different perspective, maybe you were not some one who can share your secrets or give out to help, but when others share their secret and give openly you also start doing the same.
