Education Equity for Girls

We address barriers limiting girls’ access to education in pastoralist communities, including poverty, early marriage, increased exposure to gender based violence and gender inequality.

Scholarships & Learning Materials

Financial support, school fees, uniforms, books, and supplies to keep girls in school and learning.

Menstrual Health & WASH Support

Sanitary pads, safe water access, and separate toilet facilities so girls never miss class due to their period.

Role models, peer groups, and leadership training to build confidence, aspirations, and decision-making.

Dialogue with elders, religious leaders, and families to shift norms and champion girl child education.
