DESCRIPTION:Join the Global Women's Leadership Network and Collaborate for Africa for a 
 discussion with Catherine Wanjohi, founder and executive director of Life 
 Bloom Services International and author of "A Walk at Midnight: Journeying 
 With Abused Women and Girls Towards Inner Dignity and Wholeness."\n\nAfter 
 ten years as a teacher and secondary school administrator in Naivasha, 
 Kenya, Catherine Wanjohi left her job to dedicate her life to freeing 
 vulnerable women and adolescent girls from the traps set by poverty, 
 culture and sex trafficking. In 2003, Catherine founded Life Bloom Services 
 International (www.lifebloom.org), a non-profit organization whose goal is 
 to offer emotional support, life skills, vocational training and new hope 
 for commercial sex workers, abused girls and women, and poor single-mother 
 households.\n\nCatherine will speak about her work empowering women to help 
 them leave the sex trade, regain self-respect, remain healthy and keep 
 their daughters from falling into the same traps. She has committed to 
 building a school, the first of its kind in Africa, where women can get 
 education and training to move forward in their lives. Eventually, she 
 hopes to dramatically expand beyond the 2,500 clients served today by 
 establishing four new "one-stop" centers in Kenya.\n\nCatherine will be 
 interviewed by Maame Yelbert-Obeng, who spent five years with the Global 
 Fund for Women as Program Officer for Sub-Saharan Africa and is now Africa 
 Program Director at the Women's Earth Alliance.\n
