Our Story
Our purpose is to restore hope and dignity to women and girls working as sex workers in Nairobi and help those wishing to leave prostitution do so through pathways to alternative work options.
Our Values
Relationships
We believe in patiently loving people.
Women in prostitution often have experienced hurt, abuse and fear in previous relationships.
Building relationships based on love, trust and respect is not only important to us but an integral part of how we work.
Social Change
We believe in more than us.
We believe that as a society, we all have a collective role to play to help the most vulnerable in our community, challenge societal norms that leave women and girls vulnerable to exploitation and ultimately, break the cycle of prostitution.
Transformation
We believe that life beyond prostitution is possible.
We believe that it is not God’s intended plan for women and girls to work in this often exploitative and abusive industry. We are committed to finding alternative work opportunities for those who desire to leave prostitution.
Advocacy
We believe in speaking up for those who cannot speak for themselves.
Advocating for the less privileged is a call we have been given by God (Proverbs 31:8-9). We believe in creating and enacting policies that protect and empower the most vulnerable women.
