We are transforming the lives of girls and women through access to education, vocational skills, and economic opportunities. Through advocacy, training, and community engagement, we equip them with the tools to overcome challenges such as gender-based violence, forced child marriages, and limited resources. Our programs foster independence, resilience, and hope, ensuring that every woman and girl can build a brighter future.
By promoting self-resilience in women through vocational trainings, we enhance their job prospects and economic independence. This empowerment extends to advocacy and awareness through targeted information campaigns that educate both women and the broader community on rights and resources. Additionally, we foster community engagement by organizing group activities and support networks that encourage solidarity and collective action. Our educational programs also aim to bridge knowledge gaps and build skills that open new opportunities for personal and community development.
Since 2017, we have survived through the generosity of individual donors, partnerships with like-minded organizations, and small grants that support our initiatives. Community-driven efforts, volunteer contributions, and grassroots fundraising have played a crucial role in keeping our programs running.
Despite financial challenges, our resilience and the support of compassionate individuals and organizations have enabled us to continue making a difference. As we strive to expand our impact, we welcome more long-term funding partners to help us reach even more vulnerable women and girls.
Behind every statistic is a real person with dreams, struggles, and strength. These stories shed light on the lived experiences of girls and women in Kyaka II—stories of hardship, survival, and hope. By sharing their voices, we aim to raise awareness, inspire action, and create change.
