She Saves a Nation exists to empower refugee, internally displaced and marginalized girls as leaders who will change their nation and the world.
She Saves a Nation exists to empower the God-given voice given to the girl-child, redefining her story & releasing her to be a taker of destiny.
This mission is achieved through educational empowerment, leadership development, health & hygiene education, trauma healing & mentorship.
She Saves a Nation desires to see every woman & girl transforming the world through bold leadership, after she discovers, harnesses and unleashes her unique power, potential & purpose.
We serve girls in Kenya, Uganda & Thailand with the vision to strategically expand to girls in India. In each of these nations, displaced girls seek refuge, education and safety, opportunities for women are scarce, and conflict/poverty are prevalent.
