These Girls were Alone, Now They’re a Team
The Cambodia Kinship Church is located right in the middle of the garment factories in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. Factory workers have exhausting schedules, working Monday through Saturday from 7:00-4:00 and sometimes working overtime until 8:00 in the evening.

Or if you have, then maybe you’re lucky enough to feel that it’s “far away” and you’ve no reason to fear it will ever happen to you or the women you love. The women in the Lumut Kinship Project in Kenya aren’t that lucky. They aren’t “far-away” from this evil practice, in fact, they are very close to it.

Support an Orphan's Education Imagine if the day a beautiful baby girl was born, her potential had an expiration date. She was free to learn and grow and go to school until… the day she got her period. Yes, you read that right. It sounds ridiculous, doesn’t it? Why should your daughter, niece, sister, or cousin miss a whole week of school every month, fall behind her male peers, and eventually miss out on her dream job?
