THX22 Foundation, a charitable organisation dedicated to empowering marginalised communities, has donated Kshs 630,000 to Rafiki Mwema, a non-profit focused on rehabilitating and protecting traumatised children.
The money will go towards a project at Rafiki Jasiri School, a sanctuary school in Nakuru for children who are too vulnerable to go to regular schools because of their situations.
The initiative will provide school uniforms to students, fostering a sense of identity and equality as they pursue their educational and recovery journeys.
“We are incredibly grateful to THX22 Foundation for this generous support,” said Nichous Njogu, Country Director of Rafiki Mwema. “To our children, these uniforms symbolise hope, structure, and the belief that they are seen, heard, and valued. This contribution is a step toward healing and empowerment through education.”
The partnership aligns with THX22 Foundation’s mission to champion the voices of the voiceless and drive lasting social change. “This project is close to our hearts because it directly supports children who’ve experienced unimaginable trauma,” said Paolo Abenavoli, Head of Projects at THX22 Foundation. “We’re proud to play a part in their journey of healing and empowerment.”
The donation comes at a critical time, as child abuse remains a pressing issue in Kenya. According to World Vision Kenya, approximately 150,000 children are sexually abused annually, with many cases unreported due to fear and stigma.
These alarming figures underscore the urgent need for collaborative action to improve the lives of vulnerable children.
Through its work, Rafiki Mwema provides therapeutic care and safe accommodation, ensuring traumatised children have a chance to rebuild their lives.
THX22 Foundation’s support reflects its commitment to grassroots initiatives that address systemic challenges and uplift communities.
This partnership highlights the power of collective efforts in tackling violence against children and creating opportunities for those who need them most.
