Introduction
Clean Start Solutions is dedicated to helping women and their children affected by the Criminal Justice System. Our unique approach involves restoring hope, dignity, and self-confidence to incarcerated and formerly incarcerated women and girls. We strive to break the cycles of poverty, crime, and recidivism by providing comprehensive support for successful reintegration.
Our programs encompass employment training, psychosocial support, entrepreneurship, and vocational training, empowering women to establish sustainable livelihoods post-release. Through our efforts, we have established a dynamic coalition of formerly imprisoned women across different chapters in Kenya.
