About this organization
Mission
Invest in girls from rural communities through educational, health, and leadership initiatives to create agents of change.
About
Through education, community engagement, and advocacy, Kakenya’s Dream transforms the lives of vulnerable girls across rural Kenya, and in the process, transforms the communities in which they live. Our work demonstrates the positive social and economic impact that empowered girls and women can have on their communities. Our programs are designed to help girls realize their full potential while engaging boys and men who will play critical roles in their long-term success. We believe in the transformational power of holistic education to positively impact the livers of girls and the communities in which they live. Our programs operate in southwestern Kenya, one of the most marginalized regions in the country, where nearly 80% of girls undergo female genital mutilation (FGM) at puberty, 50% are married before the age of 19, and only 17% complete a primary education. Kakenya’s Dream has grown up right alongside our students. We began as a single primary school, educating 30 vulnerable girls beneath the shade of a tree. As their needs grew and evolved, so too did our programs. Today, Kakenya’s Dream operates two world-class boarding schools and several other interrelated education, health, and leadership programs that serve thousands across rural Kenya each year. Kakenya’s Dream has evolved into a global team building a replicable model of education and empowerment for underserved African communities.
