"I have regained my self-esteem, my light in life rekindled and have girls I am finding like my sisters. I have found a home I felt I had lost after my mother’s death. I am praying for Baraka Women to grow big and big because it’s a home for the hopeless and homeless. God help Baraka Women’s Center to get funds and be in a position to accommodate many women and their children by giving them the voice they lack."

“This was the first time after so many years I had people who believed in me and never condemned me for my mistakes....Your story is your weapon, and be willing to share it to the world. I’m encouraging many young women and old women who are desperate and have lost hope to visit Baraka Women’s Center to gain back what they have lost in life."

"This is a paradise for women and young girls who have lost hope in life and they feel emotionally and socially crushed down. This place has made me open up, to fall in love with myself and appreciate who I am, and I have  been equipped with five skills in my life."     

"One day when I had been sent on an errand in the evening when four men attacked and took me to an abandoned house. They gang raped me repeatedly in turns without stopping. I could not scream because they had covered my mouth. By the time they left me I was no longer myself. All that had happened to me when I was a small girl  came back to me so powerfully that I was out of my mind. I went home and was taken to the hospital where I was admitted and started being treated. 

"We arrived at the Center and were received a warm  welcome by lovely and lively women. What a place to be!  Where you feel you belong and you are worthy! I shared my story with the Program Director Wanjiru Ngigi through my cousin, and through her reaction I could see she is willing and ready for me."
