MANAGEMENT TEAM
Agnes Gitonga
Executive Director (Kenya)
Agnes has dedicated her life to supporting survivors of HIV and gender-based violence in Kenya. In 2014, she co-founded Gihon Women's Empowerment Centre to be a voice to and for those suffering in silence. She also works with communities across Kenya to end female genital mutilation (FGM). Co-founding and leading Sikhona Rescue Centre is merely the culmination of her undying commitment to equity and justice for women and children around the world. We could not be more honored to have Agnes at the helm.
