We were thrilled to host a pre-award induction workshop for eight youth-led feminist Women’s Rights Organisations (WROs) selected for the Piscca Decid’Her project.
These WROs, drawn from four counties—Narok, Kwale, Kiambu, and Nairobi—include:
- Superb CBO
- Wounded Healers
- MK Defenders
- LEHA Kenya
- Hijabi Mentorship
- Afy Africa
- Matasaru Ntoiye Pastoralist Foundation
- Tuwajali Wajane
During the workshop, CREAW signed Memorandums of Understanding (MOUs) with the eight organizations, marking the formal start of the project. This milestone underscores our shared commitment to advancing sexual and reproductive health rights (SRHR), preventing gender-based violence (GBV), providing critical services, and fostering socio-economic empowerment.
Speaking at the event, Marion, the Executive Director of MK Defenders, highlighted the transformative impact of the project:
“Signing this agreement means that we will no longer have to carry survivors of sexual violence on our backs since we couldn’t afford to even pay for a bodaboda. This is a new lease of life for our beneficiaries as we can now support them with dignity.”
The Piscca Decid’Her project is made possible through the generous support of the French Embassy in Kenya and Somalia and the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation. It focuses on building the capacity of youth-led feminist organizations to effectively address GBV and SRHR, creating lasting change within their communities.
