What We Do

Neema provides skills training, counseling, and discipleship to vulnerable young women in rural Kenya. Because of extreme poverty, all the young women at Neema have dropped out of school and lost any hope of a future out of poverty. Some experienced prostitution, trafficking, indentured servitude, and other forms of abuse to get by. About 50% of them have children by the time they join Neema.

Learn more about Neema in our Mission, Vision, and Values and experience Neema through our virtual multi-sensory gallery exhibition!
