World Vision organized this first-ever Alternative Rite of Passage training through the Kenya Big Dream project. This project ensures that boys and girls take an active role in influencing change in their communities.Daicy is 17 and in grade 11 at Chesta Secondary School in West Pokot County. She was among the 61 girls and 16 boys from Tikit Village who attended the first-ever Alternative Rite of Passage (ARP) training in their village.
Daicy says, “My community holds traditional beliefs very dearly and girls like me are looked down upon. A majority of girls never transition from elementary school to high school. Were it not for the strictness of my Mum, I could be somebody’s wife by now.”
