OUR APPROACH

WHO WE ARE

 Wounded Healers is an established anti-sexual non-profit organization renowned for implementing programs dedicated to ending the cycle of sexual violence and providing support to survivors. Working in Kenya and Southern Maine, we provide platforms for survivors to lead in trauma-informed initiatives and strength-based leadership that promotes and restores dignity among African women. Our community-based approach makes the people we reach partners and friends rather than just beneficiaries.

 We demonstrate high respect for one another, donors, partners, and the people we serve in all the communities. We recognize and acknowledge the strength that comes from diversity. We value all people equally and treat others as we would like to be treated. 

PARTNERSHIP

 We recognize that ending violence against women, youth, and children will require energy, support, and commitment from multiple groups in our society. We are part of an extensive network of people active against violence. Thus our work cannot be separated from the awareness and repudiation of sexism, racism, ageism, homophobia, discrimination against people with disabilities, and other forms of oppression.
