Challenge

Girls growing up in Korogocho slums, Nairobi, face poverty, gender-based violence, sexual exploitation and barriers to education. Many lack essential school supplies, menstrual hygiene products and accurate health information. Some miss school due to financial difficulties or menstruation, while limited access to safety education and mentorship increases their vulnerability. Without targeted support, these challenges threaten their dignity, education, confidence and future opportunities.

Solution

Empowered Dreams Initiative will support 500 vulnerable girls aged 10-19 in Korogocho over three years. The project will provide child protection and GBV prevention awareness, educational materials, menstrual hygiene products and health education, alongside structured mentorship and life-skills sessions. By engaging families, schools and community partners, we aim to strengthen girls' safety, improve educational participation, build confidence and equip them with knowledge to make informed decis

Long-Term Impact

The project aims to create lasting improvements in girls' safety, education, dignity and personal development in Korogocho. Girls will gain greater awareness of their rights, improved access to learning and menstrual health resources, and stronger confidence through mentorship. Over time, these benefits can contribute to better educational opportunities, reduced vulnerability to abuse, empowered young women and a more supportive community that values and protects girls.
