At Empowered Dreams Initiative (EDI), we run the Soul Healing & Searching Program, a safe space designed for young mothers and girls in the Korogocho slums who carry deep emotional wounds caused by poverty, violence, trauma, and daily stress.
Our program provides:
Trauma healing & emotional support
One-on-one and group counselling
Mental health education tailored to life in informal settlements
Safe sharing circles for young mothers
Support for girls experiencing abuse, depression, and stigma
Impact (Past 12 Months):
310+ young mothers and girls received mental health support
100+ families supported through home visits and counselling referrals
This program is one of the only structured mental health support systems in Korogocho, making it crucial to the well-being of vulnerable women and girls.
