Supporting Primary Education Among Kenyans (SPEAK)

Supporting Primary Education among Kenyans (SPEAK)

Education is dear to us! The project support vulnerable and marginalized girls and young women through provision of assort school and health kits (fee, uniform, set books, mentorships, career and health talks, sanitary towels, and back to school shopping. We also engage key stakeholders to ensure right policies and resources are in place to cater for vulnerable and marginalized girls and young women. We run computer literacy boot camps for girls and young women who have completed form four, in holidays and completed university/college education. To keep girls at home, we provide basic household support such as building houses, agribusiness training and market linkages to ensure constant food supply, good housing and general better living conditions. Why?  many girls and young women in rural Homa Bay face many challenges; lack of basic needs (health kits), manipulation and sexual and gender-based violence, poor parenting and guidance, and lack of hope to further their studies due to poverty. The SPEAK project respond to these needs.
