Catherine





A Walk at Midnight
Journeying with abused women and girls towards inner dignity and wholeness

At the Global Innovation Dialogue, we come together for facilitiated conversations about innovative ideas around a particular theme.

Join us on Thursday, April 7 at Santa Clara University for a wonderful discussion with Catherine Wanjohi, founder and executive director of LifeBloomServices International, Naivasha, Kenya, and author of A Walk at Midnight.

After ten years as a teacher and secondary school administrator in Naivasha, Kenya, Catherine Wanjohi left her job to dedicate her life to freeing vulnerable women and adolescent girls from the traps set by poverty, culture, and sex trafficking. In 2003, Catherine founded LifeBloom Serivces International, a non-profit organization whose goal is to offer emotional support, life skills, vocational training and new hope for commercial sex workers, abused girls and women, and poor single-mother households. 

Catherine will speak about her work empowering women to help them leave the sex trade, regain self-respect, remain healthy, and keep their daughters from falling into the same traps. She has committed to building a school, the first of its kind in Africa, where women can get education and training to move forward in their lives.
