During the 16 days of Gender Activism, Ukech Charity Foundation organised a 4 days girls mentorship session in collaboration with 5 other women led organisations at the camp aimed at empowering young girls and raising awareness about gender equality and protection.
The mentorship session brought together young women from Kakuma Refugee Camp and Kaloboyei settlement.
The program created a safe and supportive spaces where girls could learn, share experiences and gain knowledge that will help them navigate the challenges they face in their daily lives.
The 4 day session was design to address the key issues affecting young girls and women in the community including gender based violence, personal development and menstrual hygiene and care.
Facilitators led interactive sessions, discussion and activities that encouraged girls to speak openly about their experiences and challenges.
The session also focused on building confidence, self esteem, and leadership skills among the girls. These conversations were important in helping girls understand that their voices matter and they have the power to make positive decisions for their lives.
By bringing together girls from different communities, the program strengthened collective understanding about the rights of young girls and women.
Through programs like this, Ukech Charity Foundation and partners remain committed to empowering girls, promoting gender equality and creating safer communities for young girls and women.
Investing in the education and leadership women is a crucial step towards building resilient communities where every young person has the opportunity to thrive.
