<\/p>\n

Life for young girls in Kenya, Africa, can be rough. Because women are not yet held in the same esteem as men, many become victims of sexual abus<\/a>e and are left without aid or support from their families.<\/p>\n

Luckily, the non-profit Rafiki Mwema <\/a>– meaning \u201cLoyal Friend\u201d – is devoted to helping care for the young girls. Unfortunately, the home where the children stay can quickly fill up. And when the girls have grown into teenagers, they tend to venture back to their villages without the emotional support they require.<\/p>\n

When Australian mom Sarah Rosberg learned of the girls\u2019 plight, she decided to set up a GoFundMe page<\/a> to construct a second home specifically designed for the teenagers who had grown up in Rafiki. The goal was $75,000\u00a0but was surpassed in a short period of time.<\/p>\n

Thanks to the generosity<\/a> of 7,700 strangers from around the world, $200,000 was raised in one<\/b> month. The new home – fondly called Queens Castle – will offer sanctuary and a more developed program of healing for the Rafiki teenagers. Amazingly, some of the sponsors have even offered to sponsor some of the young women so they may continue their therapy.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
