Rafiki Mwema

Rafiki Mwema means ‘Loyal Friend’ and that is what this 'safe house' provided by Play Kenya will be to these young girls.

Rafiki Mwema was started by the UK based charity, Play Kenya and was born from the need to support very young girls who have been sexually abused. There are sadly too many girls under the age of 12 who have experienced sexual abuse and at this time there is no specialised care for these very vulnerable children.
