Life for young girls in Kenya, Africa, can be rough. Because women are not yet held in the same esteem as men, many become victims of sexual abuse and are left without aid or support from their families.
Luckily, the non-profit Rafiki Mwema – meaning “Loyal Friend” – is devoted to helping care for the young girls. Unfortunately, the home where the children stay can quickly fill up. And when the girls have grown into teenagers, they tend to venture back to their villages without the emotional support they require.
