Empowering and promoting access to quality learning opportunities for girls.
We believe in promoting the realization of the right to free and compulsory education for all children in Kenya, with extra focus on girl children and the most vulnerable children in the target community by addressing one of the major causes of poor education for girls which is the lack of sanitary towels. Most girls miss out on school at least 7 days per month due to menstrual problems. The initiative engages women and girls in sex & reproductive health and life skill sessions. We create access to sanitary towels for vulnerable girls and learning materials. We also have motivational speakers who do motivational talks to the girls during the distributions while engaging in sporting activities for skills building for young vibrant leadership. The project focuses on starting reusable sanitary towel projects by women and girls to bridge the gap and create income. We have distributed over 1000 reusable pads to schools and 200 boys and girls from Nyabera and St Simons Bar Ogwal Primary schools have been supported with exam materials for the 2013 KCPE examinations
