Dear Friends,<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As we reflect on the milestones of the past year and look ahead to the opportunities that 2024 holds, I am inspired by the resilience and compassion that define our community. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The impact, program, and organizational updates we share below reflect the tangible results of our collective efforts. Your support isn’t just a donation; it’s a lifeline for those regaining their voice and their power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To keep this lifeline going, the Kerengende Foundation is hiring for a Community Educator role! Click here<\/a> to learn more. If you or someone you know is passionate about community outreach and education and meets the qualifications- please submit a cover letter and resume addressed to Amber Clayborne at amber.clayborne@kerengendefoundation.org<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thank you for your partnership as we continue to educate and protect our youth and champion the rights and dignity of every survivor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 With gratitude,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amber Clayborne, Founder<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Black History Month<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We know that historically, Black women and children have been disproportionately affected by sexual violence. This is why Kerengende is called to serve. In recognition of Black History Month, we will be celebrating notable Black women, both past and present, on social media throughout the month. Please follow along on Instagram<\/a> and Facebook<\/a>.  During Black History Month, and the entire year, we seek to address the gap in access to care. That’s why we work predominantly in Black and Brown communities, empowering women and children with education and resources to respond to and ultimately prevent sexual violence. Thank you for standing with us in this work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
