About Us
Female Prisoners Support Trust (FEMPRIST) has been founded in order to lobby and advocate for equal opportunities for women in prisons and those who have finished serving their sentences.
It was formed as a response to a number of gaps in the approach of civil society organizations working in women’s rights issues. This has been left solely to families and a few mainstream organizations and churches who offer psychosocial support and legal advice hence the need to go further and interrogate the needs of the women thereafter.
FEMPRIST work is premised around the 4R’s: Rehabilitation, Reconciliation, Reintegration, Restoration. words etc.
Vision
Equal opportunities for all female prisoners and ex-prisoners.
Mission
To change the mind set of society and families towards female prisoners by giving them a second chance through equipping them with skills which can enable them to economically sustain their lives during and after incarceration.
Goal
To create an environment that restores dignity and respect for female prisoners by recognizing that gender and social justice prevails in prisons.

Empowerment to every FEMALE
As we raise the funds to do more and more activities under our mission we are rallying for every female prisoner to be empowered. These individuals are prone to repeating same mistakes after their jail time in the event that society doesn't accept them well. Hence our empowerment programs will curb every challenge and give them hope and a sense of belonging to society once again.
