About Us

In recent years, sex work has become an increasingly emerging social, economic, medical and epidemiological problem in Kenya and other Eastern and Southern African Countries.  Inadequate interdisciplinary intervention in health promotion and social care for sex workers, coupled with a lack of structural policy has made women vulnerable to commercial sex work in the society. Consequently this has exposed them to STDs, HIV/AIDs infections and human trafficking. As a result, a group of women professionals and entrepreneurs created Sourcenet Women Empowerment Program (SOWEP) to address these issues.
