Build a Rescue Center for GBV survivors

By Staicy Wairimu | Social Media Manager

Executive Summary

The Women’s Rescue Center continues to pursue its mission of providing safety, support, and empowerment for women survivors of domestic violence, trafficking, and gender-based abuse. Although the physical rescue shelter is still under construction, the initiative remains active in rescuing and supporting survivors through temporary placements, counseling, legal assistance, and community-based care.

Current Status & Challenges
One of the primary logistical challenges we face is poor road infrastructure, which affects accessibility and emergency response times. Despite this, we remain committed to serving women in need. Survivors rescued from abusive situations are temporarily placed in safe locations through our network of partners and well-wishers as we work toward building a permanent facility.

Ongoing Support Services
We continue to provide holistic support for survivors even without a physical shelter. Each rescued woman receives:
• Immediate safety through temporary housing arrangements
• Psychosocial support including trauma-informed counseling
• Legal assistance to navigate justice systems
• Basic needs support (food, clothing, medical attention)

This interim approach allows us to maintain our impact while we prepare for long-term operations at the upcoming center.

Upcoming Initiative – Fun Run for 16 Days of Activism
In celebration of the global campaign 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence, we are organizing a community Fun Run. This event will not only raise awareness but also serve as a fundraising platform for the construction of our permanent rescue shelter. The fun run will bring together stakeholders, partners, and supporters who believe in the power of safe spaces and second chances.

Looking Ahead
We remain focused on our ultimate goal — the establishment of a fully equipped Women’s Rescue Center. This facility will serve as a sanctuary offering emergency shelter, healthcare, legal aid, vocational training, and empowerment programs for women and their children. With sustained community support and strategic fundraising, we are confident in bringing this vision to life.

Conclusion
The journey to building a safe, dignified space for survivors of violence is ongoing, and we are making meaningful progress every day. Your continued support — whether through participation, partnerships, or donations — brings us closer to opening our doors to the women who need us most.
