Girls and women are the most wounded in Africa.
40% of Africans who are illiterate, 2/3 are women. An ever-increasing number of children are growing up stunted because of the challenges of malnutrition in Africa. 59% of HIV-positive people in Africa are women, the majority of children diagnosed with HIV get the virus from their mothers
How We Help Them
The most marginalized and wounded people in Africa are girls and women. Many are victims of abuse, trafficking, domestic violence, rape, early marriage, HIV/Aids, widowed, left abandoned and destitute fearing that their children will soon join the ranks of Africa’s countless orphans. Finding Hope Africa is committed to serve vulnerable and marginalized girls, women and their children who are in crisis by providing a safe, loving, nurturing, structured environment in which they can heal, reawaken their dignity and self-confidence, and learn the skills that will help them stop the cycle of poverty and homelessness. Finding Hope Africa is committed to providing individually tailored support through case management, counseling, education, vocational skills training, life skills classes, prenatal and parenting classes, physical care, health screening and assessment, emotional well-being as well as leadership and spiritual development so as to achieve the goal of becoming self-sufficient and contributing to the overall well-being of their family and community. We assist in integration of girls, women and children into their family homes when proper interventions have been made.
