Robin Hood Half Marathon · 29 September 2024 ·

Support girls rescued from child marriage and FGM For as little as £2.50 a day, a rescued girl can be housed and taken care of in Kenya.

Story

Mission with a Vision is one of the places we visited in Kenya last year and helped to build dormitories for the girls at the project.

Over the past 26 years Mission with a Vision has rescued, kept safe and educated more than 1,300 girls fleeing female genital mutilation (FGM) and childhood marriage. During that time, we have seen frightened adolescent girls with little or no education grow up to become independent women who, by example, are helping to break the cultural norms that support genital cutting and childhood marriage. Our mission is to give every girl escaping gender-based violence an opportunity to pursue their goals.

Unfortunately, due to increases in costs and a reduction in our income, we urgently need to raise funds to support the day-to-day living costs for the girls. It only costs £2.50 a day for each girl to be housed, fed, clothed and supported. This includes access to medical care when needed.

Mission Direct are raising funds to support Mission With A Vision. Many small donations from many people can collectively achieve a great deal.
