The Kara Olmurani Shelter in Nairobi, Kenya, is a safe house for some 30 young girls aged 14 years and below who have gone through sexual abuse and continue to be exposed to revictimization over and over again. Kara Olmurani means "I am a warrior”.
Once at the shelter, highly-trained female counselors help the girls using different programs and tools that are child-centered and focused on a healing journey. The goal is to empower each little warrior, one soul at a time, with purpose, value, and dignity, in a safe and secure environment toward their reintegration into society.
