Educating Kenyan Women to Release Themselves from Cultural Limitations

After 10 years of teaching, administration and counseling girls at disadvantaged local schools, Catherine founded Life Bloom Services International (LBSI) in 2003. Her goal has been to use her now-proven Peer-Mentor model to free vulnerable women and adolescent girls from the traps set by poverty and the culture.  Working with women sex workers, refugees, and survivors of rape and/or genital mutilation, Catherine hopes to dramatically expand beyond the 2,500 clients served today by establishing four new “ONE-STOP” centers in Kenya to offer emotional support, life skills, entrepreneurship training and other services.

Vision:

A world where women, girls and children who have experienced abuse are transformed to become dignified leaders!:  A leadership and vocational training school with the capacity for 400 students is commissioned on August 16, 2011.  200 women and girls graduate by August 2010 and 400 every year from February 2011.
