This is the story of rescue.
These girls are not defined by their painful past — they are brave, they are strong and they are running after their future.

Our Restorative Care Program
In Kenya, we are partnered with a local Kenyan organization to run a safe house and a restorative care program for children and young women who have been rescued from sexual exploitation, gender-based violence, forced early-childhood marriage, female genital mutilation and other forms of abuse. Many of the children in our care are orphans, having lost their parents to HIV or AIDS. If they had not been rescued, they very likely would have contracted the same diseases and never lived to see adulthood.
When they enter our program, we asses their individual needs according to their background, family, and trauma, and create their unique care plan. We provide a child or young woman with everything they need to begin their healing journey. Our end goal is to empower them to live fulfilled and healthy lives. Our restorative care includes their housing, food and nutrition, health care, trauma-informed therapy and counseling, clothing, education, life skills training, and recreational activities. When possible, we always aim to reunite them with their family if/when it is safe to do so. If family reunification is not possible, we provide the family support they need through our safe house.
“I never thought I deserved to be loved throughout my life. But here I have somebody who can hug me, tell me I’m important and tell me how worthy I am.”
- Maggie, survivor in our Kenya Safe House
