Why Join the Hope Circle?

Imagine that you’re a part of a global community encircling each and every scholar in Freely in Hope’s program.

Through your support, they are given opportunities to thrive in their education and leadership journey. These aren’t passive monthly donations. Hope Circle members are connected, invested, and eager to support Freely in Hope scholars with the tools they need to thrive.

Allyship with survivors is important because there are many survivors who do not feel heard or validated. The trauma of being silenced by others is even more traumatic than the trauma itself. Many survivors are unable to pursue justice, afford quality education, pursue leadership opportunities or access mental health support to heal. But when survivors have allies in their life that support their journey, we experience mutual healing together. Our efforts will build a world that is safer for our daughters and their daughters.

Freely in Hope is a community of survivor-advocates who believe in an audacious vision of ending sexual violence. You can support Freely in Hope’s mission by joining us and taking a stand against sexual violence. The most effective way to do this is to join the Hope Circle! This is our monthly giving program that encircles scholars with the support we need to achieve our dreams. Hope Circle members understand that healing trauma from sexual violence requires a holistic approach. We fund high school and university tuition for survivors, along with counseling, safe housing, mentorship, legal aid, healthcare, and community support.

When Children Find Their Voice: Building Safety From Where I Stand

I used to dream of a community where children could grow up not feeling afraid. Where women didn’t have to scream every night. Where survivors could rise as leaders and lean into their lived experiences to bring the change they wanted to see. The dream didn’t come from some abstract place, it came from living in Kibera, from knowing what it feels like when poverty exposes girls to vulnerabilities, from understanding firsthand what happens when children don’t have the language to recognize violence as it’s happening to them.

Principles of Survivor-Centered Ethical Storytelling for Nonprofits

The “survivor complex” is real, and it deeply impacts the people we walk alongside. The survivor complex is a psychological and relational pattern that develops when a person has survived trauma and begins to relate to themselves primarily through the identity of “survivor.” It often forms because systems, communities, and even support programs repeatedly reinforce this identity, sometimes unintentionally.

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.
