We are in the process of transitioning and reintegrating one of our residents back to the community. Jamila has now been at the safe house for a period of 11 months. She is a survivor of rape. During her stay at the shelter, she has discovered her love for children and babysitting, despite her developmental challenges. She has been testifying that discovering her passion has helped her heal immensely which is why she hopes to be able to keep doing it beyond the shelter.
Her hope was to open a daycare when she leaves the shelter, so that she can always have children around her. It was from this identified and renowned passion that the shelter decided to establish a daycare where she will be working with the support of her mother who is a single mother and without any stable source of income. We recently purchased some of the daycare equipment required (mattresses, gas, toys, reading materials, carpet, utensils etc ) and handed them over to her mother as Jamila completes her program at the shelter awaiting her discharge.
Agatha Amani House through staff members will do follow up and after care services to Jamila for her personal and business growth.
