Join our holiday events across California

We’re so excited to be back in-person at these incredible holiday events! Join us in California to learn about our transformative work with survivors across Kenya and Zambia.

Join new and old friends for a curated conversation, delicious soul food, and a terrarium workshop with founder, Nikole Lim, in celebration of her birthday.

“For my birthday this year, I’m excited to gather with new and old friends who have supported my journey as an author, survivor-advocate, and nonprofit leader at Freely in Hope. The journey through this strange pandemic season has not been easy, nor has the growth been painless—still, I believe the practice of naming these often messy learning experiences brings healing and flourishing. I’m eager to share some of my hardest, most transformative growth areas over these past few seasons of my life. At this event, we’ll share stories of growth by designing our own terrarium as a reminder of how far we’ve come. I look forward to honoring our collective growth together.” Nikole Lim, International Director. RSVP here by November 26! Seating is limited.

We’ll be selling jewelry and home goods handmade in Kenya at the Self Care + Sip Holiday Market! This is the Bay Area’s first immersive luxury self-care market. Come experience local small businesses, massage therapy, yummy foods, and drinks!⁠ Get your all-access tickets here!

Q& A From Pain to Power – The Super Girls Revolution with Magdalene

As a survivor of sexual violence, I started SGR in my mother’s backyard because the need to ensure girls were supported through mentorship, education, and empowerment was so urgent. My dream was always consistent: to mentor girls to take up space and be leaders, allowing every light in the community to shine.

How Safe Spaces and Survivor-Led Care Are Multiplying Healing

The movement to end sexual violence is undergoing a profound and necessary transformation. For decades, the global conversation has often focused on external interventions and temporary aid. Today, a new, powerful model is emerging: one that centers the unshakeable wisdom, expertise, and leadership of African survivors. This isn’t just about inclusion; it is a strategic shift toward sustainability, efficacy, and genuine, lasting societal change.

How FIH Is Strengthening the Ecosystem of Care for Survivors in Kenya

Kenya’s fight against sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) is far from over. Poverty, harmful cultural practices, lack of GBV awareness, lack of access to justice among others perpetuate violence in many Kenyan communities. In addition to that, survivors when seeking for help face stigma, fear and trauma not only from the violence itself but also from systems that are meant to provide protection, support and justice. Instead, the systems end up silencing them. As a result, it makes their healing difficult and the violence hidden.
