Today, on International Migrants Day, we at Talitha Kum International Kenya stand in solidarity with the millions of individuals who embark on journeys of hope and resilience across borders. We recognize the immense contributions of migrants to our communities, their vibrancy, their strength, and their stories of courage that enrich our shared world.
This year’s theme, “Uniting Voices, Building Inclusive Communities,” resonates deeply with our mission. We believe that every migrant deserves respect, dignity, and protection from exploitation, regardless of their origin or status.
At Talitha Kum Kenya, we witness firsthand the vulnerabilities that migrants face, including the dangers of human trafficking. We see how exploitation thrives in the shadows of ignorance and prejudice. This is why we work tirelessly to:
- Raise awareness: We educate communities about the dangers of human trafficking and empower individuals to identify and report suspicious activity.
- Support survivors: We provide safe havens, medical care, and psychosocial support to those who have been trafficked, helping them heal and rebuild their lives.
- Advocate for change: We work with governments, NGOs, and faith-based organizations to strengthen legal frameworks and policies that protect migrants from exploitation.
As a church entity We believe that our commitment to justice, compassion, and human dignity, has a vital role to play in creating inclusive communities where migrants are welcomed and supported.
The Church has the vocation to be a home for all, and not only for those who are already members of it. It is called to go out towards those who are far off and excluded.
Pope Francis
On this International Migrants Day, let us unite voices, not only in recognizing the challenges, but also in celebrating the contributions of migrants. Let us bridge the gaps of prejudice and misunderstanding with empathy and understanding. Let us build communities where every individual, regardless of their background, can find a safe haven and a path to a brighter future.
