Desc	HEALTH AND LEADERSHIP: WITH EXTREMELY LIMITED HEALTHCARE RESOURCES AND EDUCATION IN THE REGION, MOST COMMUNITY MEMBERS KNOW LITTLE ABOUT THEIR BODIES OR RIGHTS. THIS LACK OF SEXUAL HEALTH AND RIGHTS-BASED EDUCATION LEADS TO INCREASED RATES OF FEMALE GENITAL MUTILATION (FGM), CHILD MARRIAGE, UNPLANNED TEENAGE PREGNANCY, AND CYCLICAL INTERGENERATIONAL POVERTY. TO COMBAT THESE PROBLEMS, WE EQUIP BOYS AND GIRLS IN PARTNER SCHOOLS ACROSS RURAL KENYA WITH COMPREHENSIVE SEX EDUCATION, INFORMATION ABOUT THE DANGERS OF FGM AND CHILD MARRIAGE, KNOWLEDGE OF THEIR LEGAL RIGHTS, AND LIFE SKILLS TRAINING THROUGH THE HEALTH AND LEADERSHIP TRAINING PROGRAM. WE HAVE REACHED NEARLY 25,000 GIRLS AND BOYS IN 162 SCHOOLS WITH THESE VITAL TRAININGS. SEE SCHEDULE O FOR A DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THIS PROGRAM SERVICE.	Desc

FORM 990, PART III, LINE 1, DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION MISSION:	KAKENYA'S DREAM WORKS CLOSELY WITH AN INDEPENDENT LOCAL PARTNER IN KENYA TO FUND PROGRAMS IN NAROK AND KISII COUNTIES, SOME OF THE MOST MARGINALIZED REGIONS OF SOUTHWESTERN KENYA, WHERE NEARLY TWO-THIRDS OF GIRLS UNDERGO FGM AT PUBERTY, ABOUT HALF ARE MARRIED BEFORE THE AGE OF 19, AND THE MAJORITY HAVE NOT GRADUATED HIGH SCHOOL. WOMEN AND GIRLS IN THE COUNTIES WE SERVE REMAIN SEVERELY MARGINALIZED BY HARMFUL TRADITIONAL PRACTICES. GIRLS IN THE INDIGENOUS MAASAI COMMUNITY REGULARLY STOP GOING TO SCHOOL AND ARE MARRIED OFF IN ADOLESCENCE AFTER UNDERGOING FGM, A PAINFUL AND HARMFUL PRACTICE THAT IS CONSIDERED A RITE OF PASSAGE TO ADULTHOOD. WHEN GIRLS ARE NOT EDUCATED, THE CYCLE OF MARGINALIZATION CONTINUES FROM ONE GENERATION TO THE NEXT, WITH THE MEN AND TRIBAL ELDERS DICTATING A GIRL'S PRESENT AND FUTURE WITHOUT CONSIDERING HER SOCIAL, FINANCIAL, PHYSICAL, OR EMOTIONAL WELLBEING. SINCE 2008, KAKENYA'S DREAM HAS BEEN CHANGING BELIEFS ABOUT THE VALUE OF GIRLS' EDUCATION AND EMPOWERMENT. WE WORK CLOSELY WITH THE COMMUNITIES WE SERVE TO GENERATE SUPPORT FOR PROGRAM DESIGN, DEMONSTRATE TRANSPARENCY AND ENCOURAGE TRUST, ENSURE THAT THE INTERVENTIONS ARE CULTURALLY APPROPRIATE TO THE LOCAL CONTEXT, AND PROMOTE LEADERSHIP FROM WITHIN THE COMMUNITY. THE THREE CORE PROGRAMS (CENTERS FOR EXCELLENCE, NETWORK FOR EXCELLENCE, AND HEALTH AND LEADERSHIP TRAININGS) ARE DESIGNED TO EMPOWER AND MOTIVATE MARGINALIZED GIRLS THROUGH EDUCATION, HEALTH, AND LEADERSHIP INITIATIVES TO BECOME AGENTS OF CHANGE AND TO BREAK THE CYCLE OF HARMFUL TRADITIONAL PRACTICES SUCH AS FGM AND CHILD MARRIAGE.
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A, PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS:	KAKENYA CENTERS FOR EXCELLENCE PROGRAM: THE KAKENYA CENTERS FOR EXCELLENCE (KCE I AND II) ARE LOCATED IN THE RURAL VILLAGES OF ENOOSAEN AND ISAMPIN IN SOUTHWESTERN KENYA. THEY SERVE THE REGION'S MOST VULNERABLE AND UNDERPRIVILEGED GIRLS. KCE I AND II ARE TRANSFORMATIVE BOARDING SCHOOLS THAT SERVE OVER 350 STUDENTS EACH YEAR IN GRADE 4-12 ACROSS TWO CAMPUSES. 100% OF THE CURRENT STUDENTS AND ALUMNAE ARE CONTINUING THEIR EDUCATION, FREE FROM FGM AND CHILD MARRIAGE. KAKENYA'S DREAM IS COMMITTED TO PROVIDING STUDENTS WITH ALL THE RESOURCES THEY NEED TO EXCEL INSIDE AND OUTSIDE THE CLASSROOM, ADDRESSING THEIR PHYSICAL, SOCIAL, AND EMOTIONAL NEEDS. WE BELIEVE EDUCATION IS THE KEY TO UNLOCKING EACH GIRL'S UNIQUE POTENTIAL. FOR THIS REASON, WE ENSURE THE STUDENTS RECEIVE HIGH-QUALITY INSTRUCTION IN FIVE CORE AREAS: LANGUAGES, MATH, SCIENCE, TECHNICAL SKILLS, AND HUMANITIES. THE SCHOOLS ARE STAFFED WITH WELL-TRAINED TEACHERS, AND THE STUDENT TO TEACHER RATIO IS LESS THAN HALF THE NATIONAL AVERAGE. WE ALSO PROVIDE THE GIRLS WITH ALL THEIR SCHOOL NEEDS, INCLUDING UNIFORMS, TEXTBOOKS, LEARNING MATERIALS, AND THREE NUTRITIOUS MEALS PER DAY, SUPPLEMENTED BY FRESH PRODUCE FROM THE CAMPUS GARDENS. WE ENHANCE THE GIRLS' ACADEMIC EXPERIENCES WITH EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES, CLUBS, SPORTS, FIELD TRIPS, AND MORE. FROM PUBLIC SPEAKING TO SELF-DEFENSE AND LEADERSHIP TRAINING, WE TEACH GIRLS A VARIETY OF SKILLS TO HELP THEM BECOME INDEPENDENT AND CONFIDENT YOUNG WOMEN.
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4B, PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS:	HEALTH AND LEADERSHIP TRAINING PROGRAM: WITH EXTREMELY LIMITED HEALTHCARE RESOURCES AND EDUCATION IN THE REGION, MOST PEOPLE KNOW VERY LITTLE ABOUT THEIR BODIES, PARTICULARLY WITH REGARD TO SEXUAL AND REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH AND THE HARMFUL EFFECTS OF FGM AND CHILD MARRIAGE. THESE TOPICS ARE ALSO HIGHLY TABOO, SO THEY AREN'T DISCUSSED IN SCHOOL OR AT HOME. THIS LEADS TO HIGHER RATES OF FGM, CHILD MARRIAGE, UNINTENDED TEENAGE PREGNANCY, AND SCHOOL DROPOUT. IN 2011, KAKENYA'S DREAM WORKED WITH ITS KENYAN PARTNER ORGANIZATION TO LAUNCH THE HEALTH AND LEADERSHIP TRAINING PROGRAM TO EXTEND OUR REACH INTO THE WIDER COMMUNITY AND FILL THIS GAP IN HEALTH INFORMATION. A TEAM OF SKILLED FACILITATORS LEAD IMPACTFUL AND ENGAGING SESSIONS WITH BOTH BOYS AND GIRLS ON GENDER EQUALITY, FGM AND CHILD MARRIAGE, SEXUAL VIOLENCE, SEXUAL AND REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH, SELF-DEFENSE, AND LIFE SKILLS LIKE LEADERSHIP AND SELF-ADVOCACY. THIS PROGRAM ALSO TEACHES PARTICIPANTS TO SHARE THE INFORMATION THEY'VE LEARNED WITH THEIR SIBLINGS, PARENTS, AND COMMUNITIES AND EMPOWERS THEM TO BECOME PARTNERS IN PROMOTING GENDER EQUALITY AND THE END OF VIOLENCE AND HARMFUL PRACTICES COMMITTED AGAINST WOMEN AND GIRLS ACROSS KENYA. TO DATE, NEARLY 25,000 GIRLS AND BOYS HAVE BEEN TRAINED AT 162 SCHOOLS ACROSS FOUR COUNTIES. IN 2020, KAKENYA'S DREAM ALSO LAUNCHED THE LINDA DADA CAMPAIGN TO PROVIDE IN-DEPTH EDUCATION THROUGH COMMUNITY-BASED WORKSHOPS ABOUT SEXUAL AND REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH, SAFE SEX PRACTICES, AND HEALTHY INTERPERSONAL RELATIONSHIPS. WE ALSO PARTNERED WITH LOCAL MEDIA TO DISSEMINATE THIS INFORMATION VIA RADIO AND TELEVISION MESSAGING TO DRIVE BEHAVIOR CHANGE WITHIN THE ADOLESCENT COMMUNITY. YOUTH-FRIENDLY HEALTH CLINIC TO FURTHER MEET THE REGION'S DIRE HEALTHCARE NEEDS, WE BEGAN CONSTRUCTION IN 2022 ON THE COMMUNITY'S FIRST AND ONLY YOUTH-FRIENDLY HEALTH CLINIC. ONCE OPERATIONAL, THE CLINIC WILL SERVE THE STUDENTS AT BOTH OF THE BOARDING SCHOOLS, AS WELL AS THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITY, PROVIDING BASIC HEALTHCARE, MENTAL HEALTH SUPPORT AND COUNSELING, STIGMA-FREE SEXUAL AND REPRODUCTIVE CARE, AND AN EMERGENCY HOTLINE FOR REPORTING INCIDENTS OF VIOLENCE. WE ANTICIPATE THAT THE CLINIC WILL LAUNCH OPERATIONS IN 2024.
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4C, PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS:	NETWORK FOR EXCELLENCE PROGRAM: IN 2014, KAKENYA'S DREAM AND ITS INDEPENDENT LOCAL PARTNER IN KENYA CREATED THE NETWORK FOR EXCELLENCE PROGRAM TO SUPPORT KCE ALUMNAE AS THEY MAKE THE CRITICAL TRANSITION TO HIGH SCHOOL AND HIGHER EDUCATION, A TIME WHEN MOST GIRLS IN THE COMMUNITY EXPERIENCE INCREASING PRESSURE TO GET MARRIED AND ARE OFTEN FORCED TO DROP OUT. IN THE STUDENTS' HOME COMMUNITIES, FEWER THAN 50% OF ALL GIRLS ARE ABLE TO CONTINUE BEYOND PRIMARY SCHOOL DUE TO PROHIBITIVE COSTS AND CULTURAL EXPECTATIONS, WITH 15% RECEIVING NO EDUCATION AT ALL. THROUGH THE NETWORK FOR EXCELLENCE, WE PROVIDE COLLEGE AND CAREER GUIDANCE, SCHOLARSHIPS AND FINANCIAL AID, TUTORING, AND SOCIAL SUPPORT SO THAT THE GIRLS ARE SET UP FOR SUCCESS IN ADULTHOOD. THE GOAL OF THE PROGRAM IS TO SUPPORT KCE ALUMNAE TO REACH THEIR FIRST-CHOICE DESTINATION, WHETHER THAT'S A UNIVERSITY EDUCATION, TRADE SCHOOL, OR JOB, AS WELL AS TO ENSURE JOB READINESS SO THAT THEY CAN ACHIEVE ECONOMIC EMPOWERMENT. UPON COMPLETION OF HIGH SCHOOL, THE UNIVERSITY-BOUND ALUMNAE ENTER A NINE-MONTH GAP YEAR COURSE THAT INCLUDES INTERNSHIPS, OTHER PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES, AND ACADEMIC SKILLS ENHANCEMENT TO ENSURE THEY'RE READY FOR THE DEMANDS OF A COLLEGE OR VOCATIONAL EDUCATION. FOR THOSE WHO WANT TO START A CAREER OR FAMILY DIRECTLY AFTER HIGH SCHOOL, WE ASSIST THEM WITH ENTREPRENEUR TRAINING AND BASIC LIVELIHOOD SKILLS THEY AND THEIR FUTURE FAMILY WILL NEED TO THRIVE. WE ALSO STRIVE TO MAINTAIN A STRONG ALUMNI NETWORK, SO WE HOST TRAININGS AND EVENTS AT THE KCE CAMPUSES DURING ACADEMIC HOLIDAYS TO ENSURE THE YOUNG WOMEN IN THE NETWORK FOR EXCELLENCE ALWAYS HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO STAY CONNECTED AND GIVE BACK TO KAKENYA'S DREAM AND THE CURRENT KCE STUDENTS.
