Description
Join us for our
8th Anniversary Gala
This year, we're bringing the spirit of Kenya to San Francisco! On our 8th anniversary, we'll be sharing the gifts of our culture with you through powerful stories of our youth who are doing amazing work in their communities. Learn about how Freely in Hope survivor-leaders are leading their communities toward a violence-free world. This year's gala features live Swahili music, delicious food from Jamaica, an African market, art created by Freely in Hope scholars, and uniquely designed products that benefit the work of Freely in Hope.
Your support will help us reach our $120,000 goal which will help us expand our violence prevention programs that will reach thousands of young people throughout Kenya's slums and villages. Join us in equipping survivors and advocates to lead in ending the cycle of sexual violence!
Doors open at 5:30 PM.

She's passionate about building platforms for survivors and advocates to be leaders in their communities. Lydia is passionate about mentoring young people—especially those affected by sexual violence. She equips survivors to unlock their potential into their calling.
