Our Mission and Objectives

The specific purpose and mission of QFE is to empower impoverished women and girls in Kenya, specifically women who have experienced genital 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 thier education. We support obstetric fistula survivors and young sexual assault survivors.

Our program is based on the principle that we will respect the dignity and inherent worth of all participants and team members.
