Join our holiday events across California

We’re so excited to be back in-person at these incredible holiday events! Join us in California to learn about our transformative work with survivors across Kenya and Zambia.

Join new and old friends for a curated conversation, delicious soul food, and a terrarium workshop with founder, Nikole Lim, in celebration of her birthday.

“For my birthday this year, I’m excited to gather with new and old friends who have supported my journey as an author, survivor-advocate, and nonprofit leader at Freely in Hope. The journey through this strange pandemic season has not been easy, nor has the growth been painless—still, I believe the practice of naming these often messy learning experiences brings healing and flourishing. I’m eager to share some of my hardest, most transformative growth areas over these past few seasons of my life. At this event, we’ll share stories of growth by designing our own terrarium as a reminder of how far we’ve come. I look forward to honoring our collective growth together.” Nikole Lim, International Director. RSVP here by November 26! Seating is limited.

We’ll be selling jewelry and home goods handmade in Kenya at the Self Care + Sip Holiday Market! This is the Bay Area’s first immersive luxury self-care market. Come experience local small businesses, massage therapy, yummy foods, and drinks!⁠ Get your all-access tickets here!

We invite you into an experience filled with curated conversation, live music, and a full-course meal prepared by Chopped Champion, Chef Rashad Armstead. To foster intentional dialogue with our influential guests, seating is limited. We welcome you to invite close friends who are passionate about uplifting the voices of survivors and ending sexual violence in our world. We look forward in collaborating on new initiatives that will bring hope to our world!

Partnering with Together Women Rise to Expand Survivor-Led Child Protection in Kenya

We are proud to announce a new partnership between Freely in Hope and Together Women Rise, a global community of women and allies advancing gender equality worldwide in the Global South.
Through this partnership, Together Women Rise is investing $50,000 over two years to support the expansion of Pendo’s Power, Freely in Hope’s trauma-informed, play-based program designed to prevent and respond to child sexual abuse in under-resourced communities.
This funding marks a significant milestone in our journey to create safer schools and stronger protection systems for children, led by those who understand the realities of violence most deeply: survivors themselves.

How Maryanne’s Story Became Her Strength

The weight of my community’s silence was heavy. Growing up, I didn’t just witness violence; I lived in its shadow, watching as systems and customs quietly expected women to remain small, silenced, and in servitude. I saw women I admired trapped in cycles of abuse, their dignity chipped away until their dreams seemed impossible.
