For so long, the girl child has been abandoned. Withholding education from the young girl has caused her to be seen as an inferior being,
My vision is to see the girl child in school, empowered and independent. I encourage the girls that I teach and interact with to better their lives through education.
FIH gives girls opportunities to change, grow, and most importantly, achieve their dreams. The experience at FIH molds us to be better and stronger women in society.
In telling our stories, we regain control over the narrative. We prove to ourselves that we are unbroken.
I believe that both boys and girls are equal. I want to stand as a role model for girls who have been in the same situation as mine, I want for them to stand tall and know that they will overcome it.
When I share my story, I hope that survivors suffering in silence will find hope and reach out for support.
As a healthcare provider, I will advocate for health facilities to create one-stop centers for survivors and for those who are vulnerable.
My biggest dream is to help reduce the percentage of women working in prostitution, both within my community and other communities throughout Kenya.
