Ahead of International Day of the Girl , 4 brilliant Girl Advocates from and stepped into executive leadership roles to challenge stereotypes and advocate for their future.

Through a partnership between Plan International Kenya (Kwale Program Unit) and Muslim women Advancement of Rights and Protection , these young leaders participated in the initiative, taking over top offices across Kwale County:

- County Commissioner – Ministry of Interior and National Administration
- County Drought Coordinator – National Drought Management Authority (NDMA)
- County Non-Communicable Disease Coordinator – County Department of Health Services

During these takeovers, the advocates engaged directly with top administrators to discuss leadership journeys, navigate career pathways, and challenge the societal norms that limit young women. Crucially, the girls used their platform to address real issues affecting their daily lives—calling for immediate action on Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights and the impacts of climate change in their communities.

After stepping into these roles and delivering powerful calls to action, these young advocates proved once again that leadership has no gender.

The sky is the limit. Empowering a girl is empowering a nation. 🇰🇪✨

🌧️ READY TO RESPOND: STRENGTHENING COMMUNITY PREPAREDNESS FOR EL NINO RAINS

As communities prepare for the expected El Niño rains, preparedness cannot wait until disaster strikes.

On 22nd and 23rd September 2026, Muslim women Advancement of Rights and Protection (MWARP), through the Sponsorship Programme supported by Plan International Kenya, conducted Disaster Preparedness Forums in and Sub-Counties to strengthen the of frontline and ensure communities are better prepared to to .

The forums brought together key stakeholders involved in preparedness and response, creating a platform to strengthen , share and identify practical that can be taken before, during and after emergencies.

A key focus of the forums was Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) in emergencies, recognising that situations can increase the vulnerability of , , and other at-risk groups to sexual and reproductive health challenges.

Through the discussions, stakeholders strengthened their understanding of the need to:

✅ Integrate SRHR into emergency preparedness and response plans, ensuring essential services continue even during disasters.

✅ Strengthen referral and coordination mechanisms so survivors and individuals requiring urgent SRHR services can access timely and appropriate support.

✅ Protect women, girls and adolescents from increased risks of GBV and other protection concerns during emergencies.

✅ Identify and address gaps in emergency response, particularly around access to essential health information, services and referrals.

✅ Strengthen collaboration among frontline actors, ensuring health, community, security, disaster management and other stakeholders work together when emergencies occur.

✅ Promote early preparedness and community-level action, rather than waiting for the impacts of heavy rains and flooding to escalate.

The forums also provided an opportunity for stakeholders to reflect on lessons from previous emergencies and identify practical measures that can strengthen community resilience and ensure that no one is left behind when disaster strikes.

The result is stronger preparedness, clearer coordination and a shared commitment among frontline stakeholders to ensure communities are Ready to Respond.

As the approach, the message is clear: preparedness saves lives, protects dignity and ensures essential services remain accessible when communities need them most.

Together, we are strengthening resilient communities that are prepared to act, respond and recover.
