Welcome to Quilts for Empowerment

 

Our Mission is to empower impoverished women and girls in Kenya, specifically women who have experienced fistula and girls who have experienced gender-based violence. We support women to gain the necessary skills and self-confidence to become economically independent and support girls to stay in school and continue their education.

“Economic empowerment liberates women to realize their potential and self-worth after experiencing trauma, stigma, and poverty. Empowering young assault survivors with safe housing, education, and support gives them hope for their futures.”
