HELP US RAISE $10,000 DURING SEXUAL ASSAULT AWARENESS MONTH.
Globally, 1 in 3 women have experienced sexual assault. In Kenya and Zambia, more than half of survivors were sexually assaulted as children.
During Sexual Assault Awareness Month, Freely in Hope remains committed to helping survivors thrive! We believe education is a powerful tool to help survivors heal, grow, and achieve their dreams. From access to safe education, counseling, and healthcare, your donation will equip survivors with the holistic support they need to graduate from high school, explore their calling in university, and thrive as community leaders!

Sarafina: The Queen in Me
My biggest dream is to help reduce the percentage of women working in prostitution, both within my community and other communities throughout Kenya.
Rose: Addressing Violence at the Root
I moved from mere struggles of poverty to living in slavery. My life there was full of tears, sorrow, harassment, and pain.
Faith: Healing Through Justice
I will be an advocate and will walk with them towards justice if that is where their healing can be found.
