In too many societies in Kenya girls still face the double discrimination of being young and female. They are pulled out of school ,married early and more likely to be subjected to violence. Girls also have less opportunity to be educated , are more at risk of gender-based violence, female genital mutilation and face greater risks of economic and sexual exploitation


Those challenges and other inhibitive  cultural practices continue to negatively affect admission and retention of girls in school. The girl child empowerment and development programme seeks to address this challenges encountered by the girl child in Kenya trough a grant making efforts and by working with other partners who are passionate about this issues that seek to give the girl child an equal chance to compete and lead a fulfilled   life


The girl child programme also implements a transformational process called the Global Give Back Circle which is a registered Clinton Global Initiative Commitment. The process provides girls from disadvantaged backgrounds, many of them orphans, the opportunity to acquire quality education, life skills, work readiness and financial support to escape the cycle of poverty and empower the next generation by recipient girls giving back to their societies


The process also focuses on transition of post-secondary school graduates, to college for university education through the societal launch.
