Our Mission and Objectives

The specific purpose and mission of QFE is to empower impoverished women and girls in Kenya, specifically women who have experienced genital fistula and girls who have experienced gender-based violence. We support women to gain the necessary skills and self-confidence to become economically independent and support girls to stay in school and continue theier education.

Our program is based on the principle that we will respect the dignity and inherent worth of all participants and team members.

List of objectives include:

  1. Girls presently involved with KQFE will be educated through high school. Additional girls will not be added to the program.

2. Raise fistula awareness in Kenya and the US - What is fistula? How does it impact women? Co-create education regarding fistula in villages.

3. Continue to work closely with KQFE to ensure the Women’s program focus is on fistula recovery and successful return to a safe home.

4. Create a strong, independent KQFE organization able to generate and manage money efficiently, thus reducing dependence on QFE for funding and decision making.

5. Continue to work on QFE Organizational Sustainability: Volunteers, financial planning, new marketing materials.
