We’re honored to celebrate the International Day of the Girl with our amazing Global Partners in East Africa! Our partners, Kakenya’s Dream and Girl Up Initiative are dedicated to empowering women and girls in their communities. Their work addresses longstanding gender inequalities by improving young girls’ access to education and healthcare services. By opening opportunities for social and economic development, child marriage and poverty rates decline, leading to a brighter, more equitable future for the entire community.
During this event, you’ll have the chance to delve deeper into the impactful work of our partners and discover how they are breaking down barriers to enable young Ugandan and Kenyan women to realize their full potential. Their transformative initiatives include mentorship and scholarship programs, technical skills and leadership training, and college and career guidance.
