MEET ELIZABETH, A FREELY IN HOPE SCHOLAR AND HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT

Elizabeth, a high school student, and Freely in Hope Scholar grew up in Lusaka, Zambia, in a family of four. At nine years old, Elizabeth faced sexual violence at the hands of her step father. 

Joining Freely in Hope and getting an education in a safe environment helped her find courage and confidence within her voice. She aspires to become a psychological counselor to support others who have experienced trauma.

Elizabeth loves being a survivor leader and has a desire to end sexual violence in her community. 

 

"I believe that holistic education aids survivors in their recovery." Elizabeth

Partnering with Together Women Rise to Expand Survivor-Led Child Protection in Kenya

December 23, 2025

We are proud to announce a new partnership between Freely in Hope and Together Women Rise, a global community of women and allies advancing gender equality worldwide in the Global South.
Through this partnership, Together Women Rise is investing $50,000 over two years to support the expansion of Pendo’s Power, Freely in Hope’s trauma-informed, play-based program designed to prevent and respond to child sexual abuse in under-resourced communities.
This funding marks a significant milestone in our journey to create safer schools and stronger protection systems for children, led by those who understand the realities of violence most deeply: survivors themselves.

I saw women I admired trapped in cycles of abuse, their dignity chipped away until their dreams seemed impossible.
