Unlocking Potential, Ending Cycles of Violence

Mrembo Empowerment Community (MEC) is a registered social enterprise that empowers victims of violence and poverty by providing the support and resources they need to transform their lives and end the cycle of violence.

We believe that every person has the innate power to achieve their potential and Mrembo empowers them to realise that potential. We empower women to understand their potential, take ownership of their decisions and development and acquire necessary training to achieve better lives.

Sexual Health and Counselling Programme (SEP)

This programme provides sexual education training, counselling and mentorship, educational assets to girls in primary and secondary schools to help them acquire the knowledge and skills to thrive. These activities aim at helping the girls to recover and report sexual violence while building their emotional wellbeing, urgency and power to negotiate their sexual rights and make independent decisions about their future.

Women Empowerment Programme (WEP)

This is the flagship programme for Mrembo that provides counselling, mentorship, vocational education, job placement and asset transfer to young women who dropped out of education or completed basic education but lack job opportunities, and especially, those that have experienced sexual violence and are working to rebuild their lives.

Reproductive Health Programme (REP)

This programme provides counselling, training on sexual, reproductive and maternal health as well as transfer of assets such as reproductive health products to mothers in informal settlements or women.
