Welcome to AIWE
Empowering underprivileged girls,
women, youth and children.
Our organization is driven by a collective dedication to empower and transform lives of underprivileged girls, women and children in rural and urban deprived communities from abuse (Gender Based Violence).
AIWE was founded in 2018 by Ruth Nyaleel Kai Thoat, a young girl who found herself in the harsh reality of Kakuma refugee camp in 2002, where the challenges of life tested her resilience. She was Born during civil wars in Sudan, her childhood was marked by displacement, uncertainty, and a constant struggle for survival.
In the heart of Kakuma, a place that became both a sanctuary and a testament to the resilience of the human spirit, Ruth faced the unambiguous truth of being a refugee. Clothes were a luxury, and education seemed like a distant dream. It was here, amidst the dust and uncertainty, that the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) extended a helping hand to the young Ruth and her fellow refugees, providing her with the essentials for life and a reflection of hope for the future.
