Empower 3,000 Girls to Rise Beyond Violence

Dear Supporter,

It is with immense pleasure to be reporting on our progress. If it was not for your donations we would not be able to have assisted our community the way we have. Thank you, we are indeed grateful for your donation. There are thousands of causes around the globe that you could have donated but you choose to support ours. Thank you.

During this quarter we began teaching young women and adolescent girls skills that they can use to begin a business and improve their overall income. These skills include henna design and makeup classes. Both of the classes are being taught within our center. We have reached fifteen girls, they have been studying for four months now. We did hire a henna and makeup instructor to take the girls through their learning sessions.

Among the students, we also have divorcees who have come to learn. We do not discriminate on the marital status of our students and we welcome anyone who wants to learn. Students through their learning have been supported with learning materials and any other support to enhance their learning.

We have started building another room to start tailoring classes. This was after many requests from the women of our community, we decided to include in our activities. Due to the high cost of starting a soap-making activity, we have decided not to endeavor with it in this quarter. We however have it within our plans as it will increase employment and income of women and girls at large.

We are happy to share that Girl Concern Org will be partnering with SDI-Kenya to conduct a climate response activity. We will be conducting cash transfers to survivors and sensitization on the linkage between gender-based violence and climate change.

Thank you.
