Critical needs include opportunities to provide medical assistance, extra food and nutritional supplements, income-generation training, access to clean and safe water, and other necessities. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61f1c9e80de7ec45195c274f/ec7e87fd-5129-4263-be61-3f8523213ec6/received_1820778438088153.jpeg Home - Create Independent Women Many women in Kenya have few opportunities for education or job training, which means that the men are the primary breadwinners for most families. This leaves women feeling trapped in domestic abuse, with few options to sustain themselves. At Imani, we not only give women a safe place to go to for rescue, but help them develop skills to earn a living so they can become independent. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61f1c9e80de7ec45195c274f/cef29d82-33d5-42f5-9c8c-094c49d44e8e/Untitled+design+%281%29.jpg Home - Our Vision. Kenya is a country full of beauty and nature, but also a country where growing numbers of women are living in abusive circumstances with nowhere to go for help. Over forty percent of women and girls from age fifteen and older have experienced physical violence, with many cases going unreported due to limited resources. We have witnessed this first-hand during our many trips to Kenya over the years. Our dream of over a decade has been to build a rescue center for abused women and orphaned children in Kenya, East Africa. With help from people just like you, we will build a center to support these families and help them break free of the cycle of abuse. Our mission is to bring hope to these women and children through our not-for-profit organization, Imani Rescue Center International. — Terry & Veronicah Richards Founders, Imani Rescue Center International https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61f1c9e80de7ec45195c274f/5be0ff60-fe96-4056-ab38-64b6bbe9e687/imagejpeg-0.jpg Home - Who We Are We are Terry & Veronicah Richards, current residents of Kimana, a small town in southern Kenya.

We are Terry & Veronicah Richards, current residents of Kimana, a small rural town in southern Kenya. Several years ago, we were brought together under the most unlikely of circumstances. Veronicah was living and working in her native country of Kenya and she met Terry at the foot of Mt. Kilimanjaro on the very last day of his mission trip to Kenya in 2005 when his van broke down. Our almost immediate connection grew into a relationship and then marriage in 2008. In 2017 our beautiful daughter Sophia was born. But, we soon learned that God had more in store for us than just our family. We believe we have been called to bring our dream to life and that is the purpose of the vision we share with each other. We also believe we are not meant to do it alone and we reach out to invite you to share our vision as well. These women and children do not need a handout; rather, together we can provide a most powerful hand to help them up. We ask that you consider how you can work through us and with us to deliver care, hope, and joy to women and children who are so very deserving. Whether you join us in prayer, preparation for our move to Kenya, or financial support for the development of the Imani Rescue Center, we humbly thank you. https://www.imanirescue.org/our-plan daily 0.75 2023-05-16 https://www.imanirescue.org/education-for-teachers daily 0.75 2022-02-04 https://www.imanirescue.org/donate daily 0.75 2024-08-24
