Empowering young single mothers and girls !

The world can be a harsh and unforgiving place, especially for the most vulnerable among us. But amidst the thorns of despair, roses are blooming – resilient, strong, and determined to thrive. In Kenya, the Roses Among Thorns Initiative is cultivating these roses, offering a lifeline to young single mothers and girls who have endured unimaginable trauma.

The story that sparked this initiative is a stark reminder of the harsh realities faced by many. Imagine a 12-year-old girl, robbed of her innocence, forced into motherhood after an incestuous rape, and left to navigate the complexities of raising a child alone. This is not a distant tragedy; it's a reality, a call to action, and the very foundation of Susan Hope's unwavering commitment.

Susan's journey mirrors the struggles of these young women. She understands the pain of stigma, the crushing weight of abandonment, and the desperate search for hope. From her own experience, she has become a beacon, a voice for the voiceless, and the driving force behind Roses Among Thorns.

This initiative, based in Kiambu, Kenya, is dedicated to supporting those who are often forgotten: young single mothers and girls who are survivors of rape and incest. They face a relentless barrage of challenges – societal stigma, familial abandonment, and the daunting task of raising children without support. The very systems designed to protect them often fail, leaving them to bear the burden of trauma and injustice.

But there is hope. Roses Among Thorns is building a Skill Center, a sanctuary where these young women can reclaim their lives and build a future for themselves and their children.

Your support will directly empower these women by providing:

• Tangible Skills: Sewing machines, baking and catering equipment, and hairdressing and beauty supplies will equip them with the tools to earn a living and break the cycle of poverty.

• Deep Healing: Free counseling, spiritual nourishment, and social skills training will help them overcome trauma and build resilience.

• Unbreakable Empowerment: A safe and supportive community will foster healing, restore dignity, and break the chains of stigma.

Imagine the transformative impact: a young mother launching her own business, providing for her child, and rewriting her future. A girl finding healing and strength, becoming a force for change in her community.

This initiative is more than just providing skills; it's about restoring fundamental human dignity, igniting hope, and building a community of unwavering strength.
