WHAT WE DO
RESCUE. RESTORE. EDUCATE
We work to equip women and girls with the means to achieve physical, mental, and economic healing and autonomy. We achieve this through a range of services, including safe housing, education, healthcare, counseling, and economic empowerment.
Our approach involves working within existing systems to empower the community to challenge harmful beliefs about violence against women and girls. We also advocate for changes to structures, protocols, and policies that hinder women and girls' access to fundamental rights.
OUR HISTORY
Wounded Healers International is an organization led by survivors, founded in 2018 by a courageous young Kenyan woman who herself was a victim of sexual violence; however, with unwavering determination and support from well-wishers, the founder became a survivor and pursued a career in Counseling Psychology.
Inspired by how much hope redeemed her circumstances, She made it her life mission to change the outcome for other survivors who do not have support.
She equips girls to pursue their educational dreams, make a transformative impact, have hope for the future, and empower the community to strengthen favorable social norms, attitudes, and behaviors to prevent violence and uptake essential justice measures for survivors.
