The Dignity Girls
The Dignity Girls is a storytelling and fundraising project supporting trafficked and exploited teen mothers in Kenya. Proceeds from handmade Dignity Bracelets help fund the creation of The Dignity Center, a space where young mothers and their children can find safety, stability, and community. Donations also help provide safer transportation, so girls never have to trade their safety just to seek opportunity. Every bracelet sold raises awareness, honors each girl’s story, and helps build a future rooted in dignity and care. Together, we’re working toward a world where girls can ride free from fear, violence, and exploitation.


What “Ride Free” Means
In Kenya, boda boda, motorcycle taxis, are one of the most common forms of transportation, especially in rural areas and informal settlements where public transit is limited or nonexistent. Mothers often rely on boda boda riders to take their daughters to and from school while they work or search for income. But when there’s no money to pay for rides, some riders exploit this vulnerability, forcing girls into sex in exchange for transport.
What should be a path to opportunity becomes a gateway to trauma.
Ride Free is our response. It’s our commitment to breaking that cycle. Through The Dignity Girls Project, we’re raising funds to build The Dignity Center, a safe home for teen moms just outside Nairobi, and to help provide safer transportation options, so girls never have to trade their safety just to seek opportunity. Together, we’re working toward a world where girls can ride free – from fear, violence, and exploitation.
