With schools remaining closed in Kenya due to the COVID-19 pandemic, many girls are still exposed to abuse and reabuse as they spend extended periods of time in close proximity to their known or potential abusers. Many have also been co-opted into unsafe work in order to help cater for their families' needs.
At Freely in Hope, we are breaking the cycle of abuse by ensuring that our scholars are not in the same environment as their abusers. All our scholars are sheltering together in a safe house where they also have access to individualized tutoring, counseling and leadership development. This extra personalized support has seen most of their grades improve tremendously.
We are grateful for the support of our donors whose generosity has allowed our girls to continue pursuing academic excellence in a safe space even during this pandemic. We are confident that the continued pursuit of their dreams will contribute to building a violence free world!
