Support Girls to Reach Their Potential!
Double Your Donation!
Help us raise £13,900 to support 420 girls to continue in primary education. Over 80% of girls in Ndhiwa do not complete primary school, many dropping out due to experiencing violence in and around their schools.
Girls’ Support Groups are a proven solution. In 2020, we hope to support Girls’ Support Group activities in 14 partner schools, providing girls with the guidance, mentoring and counselling necessary to enable them to complete primary school.
In 2018, all of our Girls’ Support Group members of graduation age were able to continue into secondary education. Current members are awaiting their exam results, but we are confident of similar results.
Georgina would likely have dropped out of primary school had she not joined a Girls’ Support Group – she is now studying at University and hopes to become a teacher!
“Right now, I’m very happy through the support that was offered. I can now have a brighter future ahead of me. My life has changed a lot; I am unlike other girls who never got the support.”

Who are Team Kenya?
If this is the first time you have heard of Team Kenya, please allow us to introduce ourselves!
Team Kenya involves entire communities in Western Kenya in gender equality, so that girls and women in rural Kenya can create their own bright futures. We work with local primary schools, and the whole community that surrounds them to tackle the barriers that prevent girls from accessing quality education.
At Team Kenya, we listen to the international community, our local partners and the community members in Ndhiwa to ensure we are delivering projects that are wanted by the people we are supporting and that are supported by global research and initiatives.
