With a strong focus on the empowerment of women and girls, Dorcas Creation is an indigenous non-profit organization in Kenya, started in 2006 under the leadership of Jane Thuo. The aim of the organization is to empower unemployed and vulnerable women from Marurui Jua Kali slum and has extended to Mathare North. The project has positively impacted the lives of many hundreds of women and their households. Seeds sent a team of volunteers to Kenya in mid 2023 to work with Dorcas Creation to assist these women to help them develop new skills which would enable them to start their own businesses, earn an income and develop a sense of self-worth so that they can provide for their families. We are excited to be sending another team in May 2024. |
