About Us
- A helping hand to those in need
Welcome to Frolics Of Hope Africa
Frolics of Hope Africa is a non-profit organization founded in November 2018 in Nakuru, Kenya to respond to cases of violence Against Women and Children (VAW/VAC).
The core focus of our work is trauma healing, education, technical and vocational training for children and young women impacted by violence, abuse and trafficking. We are proud of our work aligning with six of the seventeen Sustainable Development Goals
Gender equality is a priority across the organization’s programs, whereby we ensures the provision of safe environments with appropriate and adequate facilities, materials and gender-sensitized academic support for boys and girls without discrimination.
With every intervention, Frolics of Hope Africa identifies the following key areas where assistance is needed:
Through the Adopt a Child initiative, needy children receive education sponsorships. The ability to keep children in school has been made possible by our donor community and school principals who partner with us.
Trauma & Healing – Social workers, counsellors, and trauma therapists are available at our rescue centers, ready to work with traumatized children and young women who have gone through abuse, violence, and trafficking. We support young girls who became mothers after sexual exploitation. The focus is on enabling traumatized individuals to heal and reintegrate back into society.
Rescue – We provide immediate emergency evacuation to children and women in need. Through our connection with the directorate of criminal investigations, we are able to fight for their justice and rights.
Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning help Frolics of Hope Africa identify what works and what doesn’t. The ability to adapt to change, mobilize more resources, and maximize funds ensures the organization’s sustainability.
Our team of dedicated board members bring a wealth of knowledge to the organization’s structure.
We recognize the challenges facing children today and are committed to ensuring they are not exploited, and that their rights are respected without racial, ethnic, religious, or political discrimination.
We are humbled and thankful to the donor community that continues to support our cause.
