What happens to inmates after their release from prison?
The society is often worried and mostly not prepared to receive ex-offenders after serving their sentences. At Faraja Foundation, this becomes the main business, to ensure that we are building a peaceful, safe and just society by reintegrating offenders through a human rights-based approach. Many of the ex-offenders, based on the nature of their cases that took them to prison, require various interventions to ensure the rate of re-offending is minimized. Today, meet one of our clients who has undergone various psycho-social based interventions including basic business startup skills training while in prison and has interests in starting a small scale groceries store. This program has been done in partnership with the Kenya Community Development Foundation as a way of giving second chances to those willing to transform their lives. The best we can do as a society is to constantly support them in their resettlement process.
