”Speaking out helped me to let it go. Wounded Healers helped me to vibrate higher and become a magnet of miracles. Now I am in this place where everything feels right. My heart is calm. My soul is lit. My vision is clear. I am at peace with where I have been. And at peace with where I am headed because I know I am not alone. I feel lovely, and I have managed to join broken pieces together with gold.”
Angel
scholar”The kind of impact wounded Healers is making in our society is like planting a tree. In the long run, there will be shade and fruit for everyone. By involving, young men in sexual violence prevention programs will shift their cultural norms and unlearn what society has taught us”
Steve
Program Facilitator”Every time I go for therapy, something change in me. I feel confident knowing that there are people like wounded Healers who love me. I used to be sent home because of school fees all the time, but now I spend my time in school reading instead of worrying. My mother is happy and able to take my brother to school. I want to be a journalist when I finish my studies”.
Janet
Scholar”Wounded Healers has transformed our boys and girls into dependable people in society. Violence prevention program has reduced cases of teenage pregnancy in our county. We have high girls turnout in schools. Empowerment clubs lead by our students, men, and women have joined in the fight to end sexual violence”.
Martin
Bungoma County Chief”Every month I get a packet of sanitary pads from Wounded Healers. I am always looking forward to going there because they show me so much, love. I used to use pieces of clothes when I couldn’t afford sanitary pads. Sometimes I would get infections and would not tell anyone. I have learned about menstrual hygiene, and I am teaching my younger sister”.
Amy
Girl from community”I am now leading a mentorship club in my community. I have learnt to express my self and leadership skills. My group meet once a week to discuss about girls matters and health. I never imagined being happy again, I was always demotivated but when I met other survivors making impacts I was motivated. Wounded Healers is a home for me. I now dream of going back to school so I can be journalist to amplify more voices of survivors”.
