I AM A WOMAN. WE ARE A PRIDE is our Motto. Men and Women supporting women is our belief.
Our journey started in 2017 in the slums of Kenya driven by the desire to support the underprivileged where girl teenagers became our dedication from the ground up by collaborating with numerous schools across the country.
OUR MISSION is to inspire, empower and foster a culture of opportunity to enable young women to play future leadership roles no matter the vulnerable background, facilitating to close the gap of poverty and exclusion as part of the journey.
We shape our educational mission for these students is through our Empowering Educational Programme (EEP). With the EEP, we cultivate self-confidence, promote leadership skills, and foster opportunities for both personal and professional growth.
