A Special Connection: Day Three of the Women's Wellness Initiative 🌸💻
Today, something extraordinary happened at the Valid Dream Mentorship Center.
On this third day of our Women's Wellness Initiative, our participants were joined LIVE on Zoom by Jordana Steinberg – the very architect of the curriculum that is transforming their understanding of menstrual and sexual health.
The room was electric.
After two powerful days of in-person learning led by the incredible Dr. Mourice, our women had the opportunity to meet the woman behind the words. Jordana didn't just observe from a screen – she listened, she answered questions, and she connected with each participant by name during a full round of introductions.
What made today special:
Participants proudly summarized what they have learned so far – from bodily autonomy to menstrual product types, from hygiene challenges to pain management strategies
Jordana heard directly from the women about their needs, their questions, and their dreams
A bridge was built between Eldoret and the global community supporting this work
The women learned that they are not alone – that people across the world believe in their wellness and dignity
What our participants shared:
"We have learned so much. But we need products. We need resources. We need the world to know we are here."
"Thank you, Jordana, for writing these words for us. We are reading them. We are learning. We are becoming stronger."
Jordana heard every word. And she responded with a commitment: to build a funding slide deck, to connect with grant experts at UCLA, to gather product samples for a show-and-tell demonstration, and to help secure the resources these women deserve.
This is what partnership looks like.
This is not charity. This is collaboration. This is women supporting women across continents, breaking silence, and building a future where every girl has the knowledge and products she needs to thrive.
What's next:
Individual wellness packets for every participant (coming soon!)
A product demonstration Zoom where women will see and learn about different menstrual products
Ongoing curriculum delivery led by Dr. Mourice and facilitators
Grant applications to secure sustainable funding for products
To Jordana Steinberg: thank you for showing up, for listening, and for being a true partner in this movement. The women of Eldoret see you, and they are grateful.
To Dr. Mourice: thank you for your steady, compassionate leadership day after day.
To every woman in our program: You are seen. You are heard. Your dreams are valid.
Please like, comment, and share to help us reach more women and more partners. This movement is growing – and you can be part of it.
Together, we rise. Together, we thrive.
