Our Binti Pamoja program provides girls in Kibera a safe space, both physical and emotional, in which to express themselves. Empowerment, safety, and community networking is crucial to helping girls leverage opportunities and ultimately escape poverty.
After participating in Binti Pamoja as a child, Catherine is now a Safe Space mentor with the program. Catherine is passionate about girls' empowerment because she has personally experienced the benefits of mentorship during her own adolescent growth and development.
Catherine specialized in programming related to child privacy, child protection, and self-defense. As the liaison to four schools, she has worked directly with 150 girls in the local community. She recently completed vocational training with the support of our Angaza scholarship program, and now hopes to run her own salon within the Kiberan community.
When asked why she decided to open her business in Kibera, she replied, "It's a mark of what Binti Pamoja can transform young girls into."
By investing in the adolescent girl, YOU are helping to secure a positive future for Catherine, for girls and young women in Kibera, and beyond. Help ensure this progress continues! Sign up for a monthly recurring donation today. Tuendelee Pamoja. Progress Together.
