Mission Statement
We are working to empower at risk young women in Kenya to break the cycle of poverty and disease through the promotion of literacy and encouragement of women's health education and services.
About This Cause
We are a 501(c)3 non profit committed to providing an academic based program focused on reproductive health, menstrual health and self esteem in Obunga [Kisumu], Kenya. The majority of the girls who attend our center are unable to go to school but, with our help, can still learn how to read, write and perform math. In addition to these skills, they learn about their bodies and their health so they can make better decisions for their futures. We also work with the local residents of Kisumu to de-stigmatize the shame associated with HIV and to encourage victims of gender based violence to be embraced and supported rather than ostracized and discriminated against. We provide free art and school supplies, computer training, books, menstrual pads, OTC medications, clinic visits, and basic first aid care to anyone who needs assistance as well as clean underwear and socks as requested. We believe that hygiene and health education is just as important as an academic based education and we are dedicated to providing these at risk girls with whatever tools they may need to not only survive but excel in their communities. We know that the key to changing communities starts with its most vulnerable citizens so they can educate themselves and ultimately become who can influence legislation that will empower them and those like them.
