ROTH and McGill University students will work in partnership with local women’s group VSWS and local community members in the construction of the centre.  Once completed, the centre will provide crisis counseling, emergency refuge, basic first aid, vocational training and act as a meeting place and resource centre for women in crisis in Kibera.  In addition, the project will provide access to clean water, washroom facilities to the women using the centre and the community at large. These washroom facilities will act as income generating activities to help sustain the project post funding.   

 

McGill University students and volunteers have a longstanding relationship with the VSWS.
