Meaningful and lasting change must be community-led. Samburu Girls Foundation facilitates ongoing dialogue with communities to challenge harmful norms and promote local ownership of solutions that protect the rights of children, girls and women.
Women’s Leadership
We believe that women and girls must be proactively involved in leadership and decision making for sustainable change. In a context where communal practices and norms often limit girls’ and women’s participation in decision-making, we actively nurture and promote female leadership at all levels - the organization, their families, schools, communities, and society at large. We enable girls and women to build confidence, voice, and agency.
Three Areas of Community Intervention
Addressing harmful practices and norms against girls and women (GBV, FGM, beading, child marriage)
Increasing access to menstrual and sexual reproductive health and rights
Women’s economic empowerment - including financial literacy, vocational training, capacity building and business support for women entrepreneurs
