Crowdfunding Effort Builds a Castle of Hope for Abused Kenyan Girls

In an inspiring show of compassion and global unity, over 7,700 people from around the world have come together to help build a new home for a group of abused Kenyan girls. These girls, many of whom have suffered from sexual abuse and neglect, will soon be living in a castle, thanks to the kindness of strangers.

This heartwarming story, which began in April 2016, reflects the power of community and the incredible impact of one person’s vision.

The Power of One: A Mother’s Mission to Help

The story began in early 2016 with Australian mom Sarah Rosborg, who was deeply moved by the plight of these Kenyan girls. As a longtime supporter of Rafiki Mwema, a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing safe housing and emotional support to sexually abused girls, Sarah decided to take action.

She launched a GoFundMe campaign in April 2016 with a modest goal of $75,000 to help build a new home for these girls—one where they could feel safe, loved, and supported.

What happened next was nothing short of miraculous. Donations poured in from around the globe, and within just one month, the campaign raised over

$200,000, far surpassing its original target. The overwhelming support allowed Sarah and Rafiki Mwema to begin construction on “Queen’s Castle”, a therapeutic center where these young girls can heal and rebuild their lives.

From Pain to Hope: The Journey of the Kenyan Girls

Many of the girls who will be moving into Queen’s Castle have endured unimaginable hardship. In certain regions of Kenya, girls face severe gender inequality, often leading to sexual abuse and violence.

Many are abandoned by their families after being assaulted, left to fend for themselves in a society that offers little support.

Rafiki Mwema has been a lifeline for these girls since its founding. However, due to limited space, older girls were often sent back to their villages, where they faced the risk of further abuse. The construction of the new castle began in mid-2016 and promised a permanent sanctuary designed to accommodate the girls as they grow older, offering them a stable environment filled with love and care.

A Castle Fit for Queens: A New Beginning

The construction of Queen’s Castle is more than just a physical building; it represents a new beginning for the girls. Designed with their emotional and developmental needs in mind, the castle will include classrooms, therapeutic spaces, and outdoor areas where the girls can play and learn.

It will be staffed with caregivers and counselors who will guide them through their healing process, ensuring they have the resources to grow into strong, confident women.

“We are beyond grateful to everyone who donated,” said Sarah Rosborg in a recent interview. “This castle is a symbol of hope for these girls. It’s a place where they can leave behind the trauma of their past and look forward to a brighter future.

The Global Impact of Generosity

The success of this crowdfunding campaign is a testament to the power of collective goodwill. People from all walks of life contributed to the cause, moved by the stories of the girls and the mission of Rafiki Mwema. The fact that so many came together in such a short time to raise more than double the initial goal shows how small acts of kindness can lead to monumental change.

Sarah’s GoFundMe campaign has not only provided these girls with a home but also raised awareness about the ongoing issues of abuse and gender inequality in Kenya. It serves as a reminder that, with enough support, even the most vulnerable can find safety and hope.

Looking Forward: The Castle’s Future

As the final touches are put on Queen’s Castle in late 2016, the excitement among the girls and the staff at Rafiki Mwema is palpable. The new facility is set to open soon, and the girls will move into their new home, where they will receive the care and support they need to heal from their past traumas.

“This castle is going to change lives,” Sarah shared. “These girls deserve to feel like queens, and now, thanks to the generosity of thousands of people, they will.
