Empowering Lives Through Compassionate Action

We are an Irish NGO dedicated to transforming lives in Kenya, focusing on the welfare of girls through our rescue center and community outreach programs. Join us in making a difference.

CARA believes that as an NGO working for vulnerable children’s rights, we have an absolute duty to protect this already vulnerable group from abuse, mistreatment, and exploitation from within organizations intended for their benefit.

Our mission is to actively involve people in learning about and then tackling social, political, environmental and economic challenges through an educational process in local and global communities.
