Uplifting Teen Mothers in Kenya

Hi pals!!

Long time..hope you are all fine.

I just wanted to share a letter I received from Doreen, a project beneficiary who is now self-dependent.

When she joined us, she had just given birth to a bouncing baby girl though she had been expelled from school.

She attended our Teen Mum program and was trained as a tailoring designer. With a small start-up capital of $200 from GlobalGiving, Doreen has finally made it!!

Read her exciting story. Its just one among many that will be coming your way.

We appreciate all your continued support and as usual, keep those comments and questions coming.

Enjoy your reading!!

Dear friends,

GEMINI has always tried to keep you informed of how your donations are being spent. Every step of the way! The aim is to make you own part of the process and feel actively involved in empowering poor communities.

We thank all of you for your continued support.

After the post-election violence in Kenya, a lot of women/girls were, unfortunately, sexually abused. Most continue to languish in camps, with little medical and psychological support.

With your donations, we responded to the crisis. Now that its over, we need to reach out to all the survivors of sexual violence with confidential, free HIV testing.

We are carrying out a Special Appeal that seeks to mobilize funds to set up a specialized VCT center that will provide women/girls with these services.

But we need you help.

We are kindly requesting you to read the attached newsletter that provides some background information on this very important project.

And we are also requesting you to act and make a donation to any of GEMINI projects to enable us accomplish our goal.

Thanks so much and please, remember, any donation will be highly appreciate.
