Team Kenya welcomes you to join us on an online platform created to ensure that the voices of marginalised women and girls are included in the global movement for gender equality. For our first online event, we are pleased to welcome to our virtual stage to Anatalia, one of 20,000 girls whose lives have been transformed by the Team Kenya and Twende Pamoja partnership since 2008.
We are delighted to offer a virtual platform, with an international audience where Anatalia can tell her inspiring story and raise awareness of the cruel injustices that girls in Ndhiwa face.
