About the SpeakersAnatalia, Noven, Ruth and Vivian are an inspiring team of young leaders in Ndhiwa, Kenya have come together to create an evidence-based, three step plan listing 10 tangible solutions to the inequalities and social injustices that remain prevalent for girls in their local and our global communities. Despite insurmountable inequalities, these young women have completed 12 years of quality education, graduated from university and are continuing their journey by empowering girls locally.

The solutions they have put forward are addressing three key areas where inequalities that threaten girls’ safety, education, equality and economic empowerment in Kenya are most prevalent, namely poverty, human rights and child abuse.

WHY WE ARE ASKING FOR A DONATION 
We are facing one of the most difficult years since 2017. Amidst the ongoing impact of the global pandemic, we are in urgent need of funding to support 1,300 vulnerable girls and their families in Ndhiwa. Without funding from generous supporters we are greatly restricted in our ability to ensure safety and resilience for girls in Homa Bay, who are facing disproportionate social &amp; economic barriers to education. This is why we are asking our audience to please give what they can to attend the event and support vulnerable girls. Over a decade of collaboration has proven that our work is transforming disempowered communities in Kenya and it is crucial that we continue to ensure that girls will remain in school. Without funding we face a significant threat to the life changing work that we have been co-creating, building and developing over the past twelve years together with our valued international community. 
You can help us to continue our vision for all girls Homa Bay, who are amongst the world’s most vulnerable, to complete at least twelve years of education in a safe and supportive environment. By simply making a donation to attend this event you will have a direct impact on empowering the lives of girls and their communities.
