The Help(KC) is the first non-profit organization in Kansas City to work with formerly incarcerated women. Launched in 2016, the organization also aims to support women who carry felony conviction(s).
The organization extends reentry initiatives to these women to minimize recidivism through 3 core strategies –
- Employment and Employment Readiness
- Health and Wellness development
- Women Empowerment
Within a span of just one and half years, The Help has assisted more than 100 individuals with blemished past to reenter the mainstream life.
“We are aimed to ensure productive transition of convicted and formerly incarcerated women from prison to their communities. We support these women to leave behind the painful stigma of being an ex-offender and to build themselves up for functional contributions to their home and the society. Most importantly, we inspire self-sustainability. We take a holistic approach to uplift and empower these women physically, mentally, spiritually, emotionally and certainly financially.”
