About Wounded Healers International
Who We Are
Wounded Healers International is a US-based 501(c)(3) survivor-led nonprofit. We raise funds and awareness in the United States to support the work of Wounded Healers Kenya — an independent, locally-led organization running programs on the ground in Central Kenya.
We are entirely volunteer-led. Every dollar donated goes directly to Kenya. No US salaries. No overhead taken from your gift. Just the work.
Our Vision
“A world where everyone can live without fear of violence, exploitation, and abuse — where human rights are universally respected and upheld.”
Our Mission
“To disrupt and transform cultures of sexual violence through preventative education, holistic survivor support, and empowering African women and girls to break the cycles of violence.”
The People Behind the Work
Our team spans Kenya and the United States — united by a shared commitment to survivor-led healing, dignity, and justice.
What Guides Us
WHI prioritizes the well-being of survivors and includes their insights in all efforts to prevent human sexual violence. Survivors lead — we follow.
Being brave enough to speak up, act, and seek help is admirable. Wounded Healers use their own experiences to help others overcome struggles — in community.
We believe in uniting perspectives, emotions, goals, and concerns to achieve significant progress. Our challenges are not unique — but together we can transform.
We value everyone we interact with — donors, partners, and communities alike. Diversity is highly valued and we treat everyone with equal kindness and dignity.
