Mission With A Vision
- A Advocate
Description
Over the past decade, Mission With A Vision has helped nearly 1,100 Kenyan girls seeking escape female genital mutilation (FGM) and childhood marriage. With few resources, but with an unreserved commitment to the well-being of children, Mission staff work tirelessly — frequently at great personal risk — to protect and educate local youngsters. First founded in 1997, the Mission provides a safe house for teenage girls as well as educational scholarships. Whenever possible, efforts are also made to work with community elders to seek reconciliation with the girls’ families, a delicate task that frequently requires months of negotiation and counseling.
