✨ Capacity Building for Stronger Leadership & Governance ✨

On 9th June 2026, Her Voice Matters took part in a training organized by Kenya Community Development Foundation (KCDF) in partnership with Light Up Impact.

The training focused on Governance and Board Effectiveness, equipping participants with practical knowledge on the roles and responsibilities of board members.

One of the highlights of the session was an interactive discussion where we explored the characteristics of a good and effective board. Through practical discussions and shared experiences, we gained a deeper understanding of what makes a board effective, including strong leadership, clear roles, diversity of skills, active participation, ethical decision-making, and commitment to an organization's mission and vision.

The training provided valuable insights that will contribute to strengthening organizations and enhancing their impact within communities.
We are grateful for the opportunity to learn, engage, and grow alongside other changemakers.

A few days later and we're still talking about the incredible energy from our Menstrual Hygiene Day commemoration at Savior King School in Kibra.

The day was filled with laughter, games, meaningful conversations, and powerful reminders that menstruation should never be a source of shame.

At Her Voice Matters KE, we are committed to creating spaces where girls feel safe, informed and empowered. Seeing girls engage openly, support one another, and participate with confidence reminded us why this work matters.

Every conversation had the potential to challenge a myth. Every question created an opportunity to learn. Every smile reminded us that dignity and confidence go hand in hand.

Thank you to everyone who made the day possible and to the girls who brought the event to life with their energy and openness.

We're still reliving the moments and we're already looking forward to the next one.

This week, we’re reflecting on wellbeing and the lasting impact of this work.
Our sessions created space for girls to talk about stress, emotions, and the challenges they face, while also learning practical coping strategies like deep breathing, grounding, journaling, and seeking support.
But the impact didn’t stop there. Teachers observed increased openness, stronger peer support, and reduced stigma, showing how this work extends beyond the sessions and into everyday life.
When girls are supported, the impact doesn’t stay with one individual; it spreads across classrooms, friendships, and communities.
And this impact deserves to continue.
Help us keep this work going, partner with us and be part of the change.

This week, we’re reflecting on confidence and voice. Through activities like Dream Walls, Strength Trees, and affirmation circles, girls explored who they are, what they’re capable of, and what they dream for themselves.
We saw girls who were initially quiet begin to speak up, participate more, and express themselves with growing confidence.
These are the moments that matter, when a girl begins to believe in herself.
Because confidence is not just about speaking louder, it’s about knowing your worth, owning your voice, and believing you deserve to be heard. And every girl deserves that opportunity.
Invest in her voice. Partner with us and support girls’ mentorship.

This week, we’re reflecting on the power of knowledge and dignity.
For many girls, conversations around puberty, menstruation, and their bodies are often surrounded by silence or misinformation. Through our sessions, girls were able to learn openly, ask questions, and understand their bodies without fear or shame.

We saw girls grow in confidence in managing their menstrual health and begin to challenge harmful myths and stigma.
Because when girls have access to accurate information, they are better equipped to navigate adolescence with confidence, dignity, and self-respect.

And no girl should be left behind because of lack of information.
Support this work and help us ensure more girls have access to the knowledge they deserve.

Last year we carried out a Mentorship Program in Kibra, Huruma and Mathare. Over the next few weeks, we’ll be reflecting on this program implemented in Q3 and Q4 of 2025: what it made possible and what it means for the girls we worked with.

Through Her Voice Matters Foundation KE, we reached 316 girls through mentorship sessions and a Girls’ Conference focused on confidence, wellbeing and knowledge. But beyond the numbers, this work was about creating safe spaces, spaces where girls could ask questions, speak freely, and feel seen and supported. Because when girls are given the right environment, they don’t just participate, they grow.

Over the coming weeks, we’ll be sharing more on Access to SRHR knowledge, Building confidence and voice, Supporting girls’ mental wellbeing and the Lasting Impact of this work

And there are still many more girls who need access to these spaces. Partner with us, support this work and help us reach the next girl!

Real change begins when girls are given the rights, support, and opportunities to thrive.

This , we celebrate the power of investing in adolescent girls because when we give them access, mentorship, and safe spaces, we gain a future of stronger leaders and more just communities.
