Our students are learning podcasting! 🎙️
They’re gaining the tools to spark dialogue, ask bold questions, and most importantly, share their stories in their own voices.

We can’t wait to listen, learn, and be inspired. 💜

We recently hosted a Linda Dada community sensitization workshop in the Enenkeshui area of Transmara, Kenya. We spoke with 176 women on a range of issues affecting adolescent girls in the community, from teen pregnancy to harmful practices like female genital mutilation (FGM).

In her latest op-ed for @msmagazine.com, our founder reflects on what the world has—and hasn’t—learned since #COVID19 began. As #globalhealth funding dries up, it’s women and girls in the #GlobalSouth who are paying the highest price. Read her powerful call to action: msmagazine.com/2025/04/07/f...

Our high school #ClassOf2024 is wrapping up an intensive #computerliteracy training designed to serve them as they transition to college this fall. Tech skills are life skills—and we’re proud to be equipping girls in remote African communities with the tools they need to thrive in today’s world. 💻✨

We recently welcomed parents and guardians of our 4th–6th graders to KCE I for meaningful conversations on keeping girls safe over the April holiday, building strong family bonds, and preparing for the new term. Their support is the foundation of our girls’ success! #GirlsEducation #CommunitySupport

At Kakenya's Dream, we remain deeply committed to engaging our communities in open, meaningful conversations about harmful cultural practices like #childmarriage and #FGM through our Linda Dada campaign.

We're keeping girls in school, one pad at a time!

#Periodpoverty should never stand in the way of a girl's education. Yet in Kenya, 95% of menstruating girls miss 1–3 days of school during their period because they lack access to #menstrualhygiene products and safe, private bathroom facilities.
April 9, 2025 at 5:12 PM
Don't miss our founder @kakenyantaiya.bsky.social's urgent call to action in @msmagazine.com. The pandemic’s toll on women and girls in the Global South isn’t over—and neither is our fight for health and #genderequity.

Closing out a successful first term! ✅

We couldn’t be prouder of our students' dedication and hard work. Last week, they completed their end-of-term exams, and now they're enjoying a well-earned break to rest, recharge, and return even stronger for term II.

We are deeply appalled by the recent news of this tragic event and the growing number of cases of #genderbasedviolence across Kenya. These harmful practices rob girls of their innocence, health, and future—a reality we must never accept.
