23 girls. One powerful day. 💜

Promise Hill Project’s Kenya Female Empowerment Program held its 4th event of 2026 — and this one stayed with us.

23 teenage girls between the ages of 15 and 17 gathered for a full day of guided sessions focused on what it truly means to grow into yourself with confidence, strength, and self-worth.

Together they explored:

💪 Physical health — exercise, nutrition, and knowing when to ask for help
💆 Emotional & mental wellness — journaling, boundaries, and healthy expression
🤝 Social health — how to choose friends who share your values and lift you higher
🩸 Menstrual health & hygiene — open, honest, and without shame

They identified their strengths, their values, their talents, and their triggers. They talked about what they want in relationships — loyalty, honesty, support, and love. And they showed up for each other in a way that was nothing short of beautiful. 💜

Every girl left with a Promise Hill backpack, pads, and underwear. But more than that — they left visibly empowered. Some were already asking for extra materials to share with their friends.

A special thank you to our Program Director in Kenya, Jacque, for overseeing this event with so much dedication, heart, and care. She is truly amazing — and none of this would be possible without her. 💜

That is what this work looks like. That is why we keep showing up.

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.

The first event of our Kenya Female Empowerment 2026 series brought together strength, hope, and real impact. Women from Mombasa County gained tools, support, and inspiration to move toward economic independence. 

From mentorship to startup kits, every step moved us closer to lasting change.

Thank you to everyone making this possible.

Our 4th Women’s Feeding and Empowerment Event brought together 22 wonderful women and mothers from Mombasa County in Kilifi, Kenya. It was a day filled with laughter, learning, and love. To our generous donors and volunteers, thank you for making this possible! 💖

In this event, we talked about purpose, confidence, and courage while enjoying a warm lunch, fresh juice, and friendship. Each woman went home with our biggest giveaway yet! They received food supplies to last a week! Two incredible women even received startup kits to kickstart their small food businesses.
