Dear Carolina for Kibera family, friends, and supporters,
Girls are succeeding in Kibera because of YOU! This past year, we reached 1,355 girls through our school programs and an additional 780 girls throughout our Safe Spaces gatherings in the community!
Young women in Kibera are more likely to face some of the world’s most urgent challenges – early marriage, lack of education, sexual violence, FGM – that can often prevent them from fulfilling their potential. Your contribution to the Binti Pamoja Core Program is an investment in the next generation of female leaders. YOU are ensuring young women in Kibera continue to have access to role models and safe spaces for receiving support, building confidence, and developing as young leaders in the community like Sumaiya.
As a Binti Pamoja Safe Space leader and mentor, Sumaiya relishes the opportunity to set a positive example. “Binti is my foundation for lots of things – acting, journalism, social advocacy,” she shared. Sumaiya is a firm believer in the idea that providing spaces for girls to tell their stories and learn about their rights empowers them to pursue their dreams and helps keep them safe. She explains, “Sexual and reproductive health is not talked about normally. No one is that keen to explain anything.” Through her leadership, Sumaiya is helping to both educate and usher in a new generation of empowered girls in Kibera.

Thank you from all of us at Carolina for Kibera.
Asante Sana!
