Feed and Empower Domestic Violence Survivors-Kenya

The continued donations from GlobalGiving is a great support to our shelter. We have been able to continue feeding our residents. The power of food bought with this donation and put on our table is clear; sustained and nourished women and children.

We have been able to also offer some special meals with our residents during public holidays like the latest one, Mashujaa Day.

Through same donations, we have also been able to purchase organic seeds and organic seedlings for our own planting and production of vegetables in our small farm. We have been producing enough vegetables and selling the surplus to our nearby market and also some to feed our animals; chicken and rabbits.

We have also been able to feed some of our residents who exited and reintegrated back to the community. For a period of 6 months, we are responsible to support them and their children as they pursue a course in hairdressing.

To all GlobalGiving supporters, we are much greatful for this continued support; giving to us as a shelter has been one of the reasons we are able to keep our doors open everyday!  and we know that it has also been the inspiration behind your Loving Hearts.

From the support that we have been receiving from GlobalGiving, Agatha Amani House has been able to provide food and basic needs for the residents and their children. Despite being full house for the last one year, and with at least 2 volunteers at any given time, the shelter has been able to provide sustainably. We have been farming and thus have enough vegetables, eggs and milk which has greatly reduced our overall monthly costs as a shelter.  From the chicken, cows,  rabbits and the farm, we have been able to provide balanced diet to all our residents and also to make an income as we also sell the surplus. Apart from food, we have also been using the donations received for medication as some of health services are not fully waived by our government hospital that has been helping us with medical services for the survivors and their children. We recently celebrated Mother's Day and also the International Day of the African Child through the donations that we receive and we had a golden chance to celebrate our women and their children. We have also been buying ingredients needed for bread and mandazi baking for training the women and the bread/mandazis they make during the lessons has been part of their breakfast. We were also blessed with a food donation from Safaricom. We cannot expresss how greatful we are!  A big shout out to all our supporters!
