Global Vision & Impact

  • SSAN desires to see every woman & girl transforming the world 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.

Organizational Vision

SSAN will be centered on 5 pillars:
  • Wholeness & Healing from Trauma 
  • Educational Empowerment & Scholarship
  • Health & Hygiene Education 
  • Mentorship
  • Leadership Development
SHE SAVES A NATION MEANS THAT:
  • She is secure – safe, & has provision for sanitary supplies
  • She is whole – healed from brokenness by the transformative word of God
  • She is healthy – holistically, in all aspects of life
  • She is educated – in purpose & vocation
  • She is empowered – leadership abilities identified and harnessed
  • She is unstoppable – by God’s power, to change the world around her

Mission

SSAN’s mission is to empower refugee & marginalized women & girls as leaders, who transform their nation & the world, through education, discipleship, leadership development, health, esteem building & mentorship. We exist to restore the God-given voice given to the girl-child, redefining her story & releasing her to be a taker of destiny.

On Girls & the Refugee Crisis

Adolescent girls in displacement face heightened risks of exploitation including sexual abuse and gender-based violence, forced marriage, and early pregnancy.

Why Refugee Girls?

We champion the margins according to Proverbs 31:9 and Matthew 9:36. We want girls who would normally be the forgotten of society to know that they are seen. We desire to bring an end to lives impacted by displacement, danger & uncertainty. Part of our creed, are to be an active voice for the voiceless. As we advocate for refugee & IDP rights, we empower their voice by giving them opportunities they would otherwise not have access to.
