General explanation attachmentMission Statement Continuation: Kakenyas Dreams mission is to invest in girls from rural communities through educational, health, and leadership initiatives to create agents of change. We dream of a world where African women and girls are valued and respected as leaders and equal in every way. Our programs operate in Narok County, one of the most marginalized regions of southwestern Kenya, where nearly 80% of girls continue to undergo female genital mutilation (FGM) at puberty, 50% are married before the age of 19, and only 17% complete a primary education. As in most communities in Kenya, women and girls in Narok County remain severely marginalized by cultural traditions. Girls in the Maasai community regularly stop going to school and are married off at 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 girls present and future without considering her social, financial, physical, or emotional wellbeing. Around the globe data clearly indicates that investing in a girls education yields profoundly positive outcomes not only for the girl, but for her family and community, as well. Since 2008, Kakenyas Dream has been changing beliefs about the value of girls education and empowerment. We work closely with the community 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. Our 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. Centers for Excellence: Our boarding schools, the Kakenya Centers for Excellence (KCE I and II) currently serve over 300 girls in grades 4-12 in a safe, supportive environment. The program launched in 2009 with 30 students at our first school, KCE I, and just one building on site for girls to learn. Since then, this 4th-8th grade primary boarding school has grown into a transformative model that serves 200 students each year. In 2017, we broke ground on a second boarding school campus, KCE II. KCE II currently serves 114 girls in grades 9-12, and once construction is completed, it will serve students in grades K-12, tripling our enrollment. All of our students have avoided FGM and early marriage and have successfully transitioned from primary to secondary school. Kakenyas Dream is committed to providing our students with all the resources they need to excel, addressing the girls physical, social, and emotional needs. We believe education is the key to unlocking each girls unique potential. For this reason, we ensure our academics are held to an international standard. The school offers a variety of subjects needed for a girl to succeed in high school and beyond, including English, Kiswahili, mathematics, and science. Our school is staffed with well-trained teachers and our 16:1 student to teacher ratio is less than half the national average of 56:1 or even the government mandated ratio of 40:1 for public primary schools. As boarding schools, we enable the girls to spend more time on their studies, since many are tasked with household chores and childcare for younger siblings when at home. We offer a supportive environment in which they can continue learning outside of the classroom. We provide the girls with all their school needs, including uniforms, textbooks, learning materials, and three nutritious meals per day, supplemented by fresh produce from our campus gardens. We enhance the girls academic experiences with extracurricular activities, clubs, sports, field trips, and more. Finally, in order to overcome the significant social and cultural challenges facing girls, especially norms that seek to oppress them, we pair girls with peer mentors to boost their self-confidence and provide professional group and individual counseling. Our girls grow up knowing they are capable, supported, and strong. Network for Excellence: Our commitment to our girls does not end when they graduate from our boarding schools. Our Network for Excellence program was developed in 2013 as a way to support our boarding school alumni as they continue to high school and higher education, a time when most girls in our community experience increasing pressure to get married and drop out of school. Fewer than 50% of all girls are able to continue beyond primary school due to these cultural pressures, as well as prohibitive cost, with 15% receiving no education at all. Even for those who are able to attend high school, most schools have substandard curricula that do not prepare girls for higher education or successful careers. With this in mind, the Network for Excellence program includes five key components: mentorship, scholarships and financial aid, academic support, continued leadership and life skills training, and college and career counseling. The support we provide through the Network for Excellence ensures that our boarding school graduates can continue their education through high school and progress to university or whatever their first choice destination is after high school, and stay on a path to successful careers and lives. In 2021, we supported over 250 girls in high schools across Kenya and universities around the world. Health and Leadership Training Program: With extremely limited healthcare resources and education in our region, more than academic opportunity is necessary to ensure girls are able to thrive. Most people know very little about their bodies, particularly with regards to sexual and reproductive health and the harmful effects of FGM and child marriage. These topics are highly taboo and thus rarely discussed at home or in school. As a result, girls often undergo these harmful practices and lack community support and understanding for their health and wellbeing. To combat this problem, we launched our Health and Leadership Training program to equip both our boarding school students and boys and girls in partner schools across southwestern Kenya with comprehensive sex education, information about the dangers of FGM and child marriage, knowledge of their legal rights, and life skills training. Our Health and Leadership Training program also empowers youth to become partners in promoting gender equality and ending the harmful practices committed against women and girls across Kenya. We reached nearly 1,600 boys and girls in 15 different schools in 2021. Since the program launched in 2011, we have reached more than 15,000 youth through our trainings in over 75 schools. One of the most powerful aspects of these trainings is how far the information spreads. Each attendee receives instruction on how to advocate for themselves and others and take the information they have learned home to educate their family members, friends, neighbors, and peers. Confronting COVID-19: The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic and the lockdowns that followed led to an alarming surge in unintended teen pregnancies across Kenya, largely due to increased sexual violence during girls isolation at home and girls being forced to resort to survival sex. In response, we launched the Linda Dada Campaign (which means protect a sister in Swahili) in 2020 to raise awareness about this issue and reduce unplanned teen pregnancies through educational workshops for youth and adults alike. The workshops focused on sexual and reproductive health, safe sex practices, healthy interpersonal communication and relationships, and combating stigma to encourage open communication around topics related to the rise of teen pregnancy including child marriage, FGM, and sexual violence. We also partnered with local media to disseminate this information via radio and television messaging to educate and drive behavior change within the adolescent community. From 2020-2021, we engaged over 1,300 boys, girls, parents, and community leaders in educational workshops and reached an estimated 325,000 people across southwestern Kenya via educational radio and television programming. To further meet our regions dire healthcare needs and extend our life-changing programs into the wider community, we are building the communitys first and only health clinic! Once operational, our youth-friendly clinic will serve the student bodies at both of our 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 incidences of violence.
