Our vision is a stable, credible organisation, championing girls and women’s rights in pastoralist communities.
Formed to build an inclusive society in pastoral communities where the rights of women and girls are respected and they have freedom to access SRHR services including menstrual healthcare for adolescent girls, young women.
Our approach is to utilize culturally sensitive methodologies to sensitize and educate local communities on the positive impact of promoting access to adolescent friendly and inclusive SRHR services and prevention and response to GBV.
We seek to promote good governance embedded in inclusive/ participatory local processes while retaining sensitivity to good local cultural values and norms. Inspired by facts & the need to provide girls with a positive platform to develop, we use sport to catalyse change in society
