We equip survivors to lead in ending sexual violence

In Kenya, 1 out of every 3 girls experience sexual violence before they turn 18. Through survivor-centered solutions, we work tirelessly to bring an end to sexual violence so that every girl can pursue their dreams.

Why Support Freely in Hope:

We believe that access to education has the potential to prevent sexual abuse and re-abuse. Our scholarship program provides educational opportunities for young women affected by sexual violence. Our scholars are high school and university students passionate about using their education and careers to end sexual violence.

SEXUAL VIOLENCE IS ONE OF THE GREATEST SOCIAL EVILS IN OUR COMMUNITIES TODAY. I BELIEVE THAT IT'S TIME FOR COMMUNITIES TO STAND AGAINST SEXUAL VIOLENCE. AS A FREELY IN HOPE ALUMNI, I AM ENDING SEXUAL VIOLENCE EVERY DAY BY EDUCATING TEACHERS, CAREGIVERS, AND CHILDREN ABOUT CONSENT AND SEXUAL VIOLENCE PREVENTION. WE CAN MAKE THE WORLD A BETTER
