After growing up in damaging environments, most girls have little belief in their ability to learn, achieve, and succeed. Reinforcing to our girls how loved and worthy they are is fundamental to everything we do, from the loving home atmosphere we create, to our individualized approach to education and our intensive therapy.
Girls @ Risk Program
The issue of vulnerable
and at-risk girls in Liberia poses a serious problem. Because girls are
significantly less likely to be abused than boys to raise red flags, they
remain largely invisible, leaving thousands of girls in need of help each year.
Lack of awareness of signs of abuse means teachers, social
workers, and other authority figures often intervene far too late. Without
appropriate and timely intervention through a unique gender lens, girls
continue to be vulnerable to physical, sexual, and emotional abuse,
exploitation, and prostitution. They also are susceptible to self-destructive
behavior and are prone to perpetuating the abusive behavior of their past with
their own families.
Kairos of Hope provides a critical safety net as well as a safe, structured, and loving environment that provides them with the support, hope, and the opportunity for a brighter and better future.
Increase Self-Worth
Empower Through Education
Many girls develop a love for learning and a thirst for knowledge. Empowering girls through education is key to improving their living standards and reduces their risk of financial dependency in the future.
Inspire with Opportunity
Innovative Enrichment Programming is designed to develop new skills and interests, and to gain confidence and self-esteem. By participating in programs such as art, music, animal-assisted therapy, and sports, girls learn critical skills such as leadership, communication, confidence, and teamwork.
