Kenyan and Australian men took this oath, "I swear never to commit, excuse or remain silent about violence against women"

Thanks so much to Christine, Dorothy and all the Cafe staff for an incredible job with the breakfast buffet they served.

We had been told to expect around fifty people but seventy five people joined us. We not only had enough food but every guest only had compliments of the Cafe.

The women of Amani ya Juu world-wide would also like to thank you, Joyce for all your hard work. We are very thankful that Amani could be a voice of God's peace for this campaign. We pray for continued blessings for the work of Amani globally and The White Ribbon Project as we work together as ambassadors of peace!
