Kenya Female Empowerment Event

We went to Kenya to show up for women and girls. What we heard changed us. 💜

22 women and girls from the Maasai and Samburu communities sat with our team in open discussion – a safe space many had never experienced before. They left with food, feminine hygiene products, and a Promise Hill backpack.

But our program leader, Jacque, brought back something that no one can unsee.

Forced marriage. Child marriage. Sexual abuse. Female genital mutilation. Forced abortions. Not as distant from their daily reality as stories.
We share this because silence protects the wrong people.

And yet there is light. As communities move toward cities, change is quietly taking root. Some girls are choosing their own futures. Education is beginning to reach places it never has before. 💜

To Jacque – thank you for sitting in that pain, so these women felt heard. Your heart and courage embody the very best of this work.💜
We will keep showing up. We will keep telling the truth.
