When we began, we reached out to 6 young boys to take them through the Rites of Passage ROPES in the year 1997 at a bushy campsite in Sagana. From 6, that number has kept growing to currently about 2000 young people; each year. At the time, we only had boys at camp now we run girls camp with the maxim to transition girls to young women and bequeath womanhood to them using the principles in Prov. 31.
Our girls’ camps have an average of 30 girls and are run by lady facilitators /mentors. From a few churches, we have grown to over 70 institutions (schools and churches) doing our programs. From one major program, we have grown to offer 5 programs all intended to prepare the young person and others around them to facilitate whole person maturity.
