Home ยป A centre for peace and empowerment for women & girls in Kibera
- October 23, 2024
Our goal isto create a modern center for women in the heart of the Kibera slums. The center will be operated by a local organization called Feminists for Peace, Rights and Justice dedicated to the protection and empowerment of women in Kibera. This center will not only be a safe place but also a vibrant space for knowledge and technical training, where women can acquire valuable skills. Furthermore, it will serve as a meeting point for women to come together to learn, share experiences, and support each other. With the construction of this center, we aim to help the organization provide women with opportunities to have fun, grow economically, and become financially independent. The current facilities are limited and somewhat dilapidated, making them unsafe during heavy rains due to leaking roofs, which complicates the rescue of women and girls in need. As there are only two beds available, women sometimes have to sleep on the floor. Let us work together to establish the first women’s center in Kibera, a place where girls can grow up surrounded by positive influences and good things.
