The Jerri Savuto Girls Center

SEEING GOD'S WORK IN KENYA



Have you seen the May/June Response magazine with a 2-page article describing the Jerri Savuto Girls Center? It is a powerful description of the mission and how it is making a lot of impact! The Center provides a safe haven for girls escaping forced marriage, so now they can attend school and thrive. Together we are helping change these girls lives.

Share this story with your circle, Sunday School class, or UWF group. See how you and your group can support our 2025 HTC UWF project here.

Thanks to HTC UWFaith member, Cynthia Rives (FUMC Denton) who wrote the article. Contact Cynthia with your questions or to arrange for a speaker.for your group. Order RESPONSE Magazine, the official magazine of United Women in Faith.
