This project will provide women and their children with security, shelter, food, and access to essential medicine for a period of six months at Scotty's Rescue Centre, ensuring they can live safely off the streets.
Tragically, many women who flee abusive homes face further harm on the streets, where sexual assault and exploitation are constant threats. Of the estimated 70,000 people experiencing homelessness in Kenya, most are women and girls. Alone and unprotected, often caring for children, they endure violence, hunger, and fear-battling trauma and hardship that would overwhelm even the strongest among us.
Scotty's offers more than shelter-it provides a safe, judgment-free environment where women and children can begin to heal. In this supportive space, women gain the strength and tools to break the cycle of poverty and trauma, and children are given the chance to grow up in dignity-not on the streets. Access to regular medical care will significantly improve the health and stability of both mothers and their children.
When we help move women off the streets or out of prison, the impact is life-changing. At Because ALL Children Matter, we believe no child should ever be separated from their mother simply because of poverty or circumstance. That's why we are bringing mothers and their children to Scotty's - a safe, nurturing environment where families can stay together and rebuild their lives. By keeping mothers and children united, both can begin to heal and thrive.
