A grassroots organization that empowers women and girls, including those with disabilities, by strengthening and amplifying their agency to overcome all forms of violence, structural inequalities, and social exclusion. Established in 2016, INUA K**E (Swahili word for Women Rising) is a Grassroots girls and women focused Community Based Organization with offices in Mathare, Nairobi-Kenya that focuses on investing in empowering women and girls to realize their full potential, worth and strength socially, economically and civically through advocating for their human and social justice rights. INUA K**E recognizes that the government of KENYA has made significant strides in promoting Gender Equality (SDG 5) but we still have gender issues that affect their full participation in decision-making, especially in urban informal settlements and rural areas of Kenya. This presents both challenges and opportunities for girls & women empowerment; INUA K**E sees more opportunities than challenges throughout this journey and we understand that these significant strides being made by the government and other actors towards gender equality are being increasingly challenged by women and girls' economic dependency, illiteracy, marginalization, HIV/AIDS, Sexual & Gender Based Violence (SGBV), conflict, insensitive laws and policies.

INUA K**E | Girls Rise Nairobi Project – Building Stronger Girl Mentors

Yesterday and today, 22nd–23rd September 2026, INUA K**E, in partnership with Awake Youth Initiative, and under the support of Children's rights and Violence Prevention Fund, conducted a two-day refresher training for 12 adolescent girl mentors in Baba Dogo, Nairobi, under the Girls Rise Nairobi Project.

The training focused on strengthening mentors’ knowledge and practical skills in Life Skills, equipping them to more effectively support girls within their existing six safe spaces.

Through interactive learning, reflection, discussions and practical facilitation approaches, the mentors refreshed their understanding of key areas including:

Self-confidence and smart decision-making
Violence prevention, safety and resilience
Sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR)
Gender awareness
Goal setting and personal development
Creative and critical thinking
Communication, facilitation and peer-support skills

The refresher also provided an opportunity for mentors to reflect on their experiences, identify challenges and develop practical approaches for strengthening future safe-space engagements with girls.

At INUA K**E, we believe that when girls are supported by confident, skilled and empowered mentors, they are better positioned to make informed decisions, navigate challenges and pursue their aspirations.

Together, we continue to build safer spaces, stronger girls and empowered communities.

At INUA K**E, our Life Skills Training Workshops are more than just trainings, they are powerful spaces for engagement, learning, reflection and transformation.

We spice up every session with meaningful conversations, interactive activities and moments that allow girls to speak, learn, challenge themselves and grow together. 💜

As we navigate through key module topics on self-confidence, smart thinking, SRHR, gender-based violence and safety, and setting and achieving goals, we are not simply sharing information , we are building confidence, strengthening voices, promoting safety and inspiring girls to believe in their own potential. ✨

Because when a girl is equipped with the right knowledge, skills and confidence, she is better prepared to make informed choices, protect herself, pursue her dreams and rise beyond the barriers around her. 💪🏾

This is more than a training. This is empowerment in action. This is where confidence grows, voices rise and futures begin to change.

At INUA K**E, we believe that preventing Sexual and Gender-Based Violence (SGBV) requires us to look beyond violence itself and address the everyday realities that can increase girls’ vulnerability, limit their participation and undermine their dignity.

That is why menstrual health support has been intentionally integrated into our Girl-Led Dialogues on SGBV affecting girls in schools and community spaces.

Across these engagements, more than 1,500 adolescent girls across all nine villages of Korogocho have received sanitary pads repeatedly.

This is not simply about providing menstrual hygiene products. It is about creating conditions where girls can remain in school, participate in safe spaces, engage confidently in community activities and access information and support without menstrual-related barriers.

The Girl-Led Dialogues also provide a safe platform for girls to speak about the issues affecting their lives, including dignity, bodily autonomy, rights, safety, menstrual health and SGBV. By connecting practical support with girls’ voices, knowledge and agency, we strengthen their ability to identify risks, seek support and participate in creating safer environments.

For INUA K**E, menstrual health is therefore part of a broader SGBV prevention and girls’ protection approach, because keeping girls safe means addressing the realities that shape their everyday lives.

1,500+ girls reached.
9 villages of Korogocho.
One commitment: advancing girls’ safety, dignity, voice and agency.

Closing the Circle: Girls’ Voices, Rights and Collective Action

Last Friday, 14 August 2026, we convened the 12th and final Girl-Led Dialogue on SGBV Issues Affecting Girls in Korogocho, marking the close of this activity under the 1st Phase of the She Rises Beyond Violence Project-Korogocho.

With schools currently closed, the final dialogue brought together over 241 adolescent girls from different schools in Korogocho who converged at one of the established girls’ safe spaces.

The dialogue provided a safe space for girls to discuss Sexual and Gender-Based Violence (SGBV), reporting mechanisms, available services, personal safety, peer support and collective action. It also strengthened opportunities for girls to express themselves, understand their rights, support one another and engage in action against SGBV.

As the final girl-led dialogue, the session marked an important milestone in the project’s journey of creating safe spaces for girls to raise their voices, build confidence and strengthen peer support and solidarity.

While this dialogue closes the activity, the voices, confidence and knowledge strengthened through these engagements remain important to girls and their communities.

12 dialogues. Many voices. One shared commitment: a safer community where girls know their rights, speak up and stand together against SGBV.

From Commitments to Action: Korogocho is Rising!!

In Korogocho, creating safer communities for girls and women requires more than promises, it requires accountability, sustained dialogue and action.

INUA K**E is strengthening community-led advocacy by bringing adolescent girls and young women, their mothers, fathers and community leaders together to review commitments, demand accountability, strengthen partnerships and push for meaningful follow-up on Sexual and Gender-Based Violence (SGBV) cases.

This work is especially urgent because more than 90% of reported SGBV cases were identified as not receiving adequate follow-up after the initial report. This cannot be the norm. Every survivor deserves a response, every girl deserves protection, and every leader has a role to play in building systems that work.

As we prepare for the mega Father, Mother and Daughter Community and Intergenerational Dialogue this coming Saturday, we are carrying forward one powerful message:

Safe communities begin with conversations, but they are built through collective responsibility and action.

We are bringing fathers, mothers, daughters and community actors into the same space to listen, learn, challenge harmful norms, strengthen relationships and build shared responsibility for preventing violence against girls and women.

At INUA K**E, we believe that when communities come together, girls are heard, families become stronger, leaders become more accountable, and change becomes possible.

Together, we are moving from dialogue to accountability, and from accountability to action.

We today convened the Second Biannual Female-Led Advocacy Forum in Korogocho under the She Rises Beyond Violence Project, a strategic and results-driven platform advancing accountability, strengthened leadership, and coordinated action at the ward level.

The forum brought together community leaders, women, and adolescent girls in a powerful engagement focused on reviewing progress and reinforcing commitments made during the first forum. This follow-up engagement continues to play a pivotal role in strengthening local systems and accelerating collective responses to Sexual and Gender-Based Violence (SGBV).

Key Highlights:
Meaningful engagement from local leaders, reaffirming commitments to address SGBV
Strengthened accountability mechanisms and increased follow-up on GBV cases
Elevated voices and leadership of girls and young women in advocacy spaces
Reinforced collaboration between community members and duty bearers for sustained action

One-Year Implementation Debrief A comprehensive and reflective debrief of one year of implementation under the project was also conducted, providing critical insights into achievements, challenges, and lessons learned. This session underscored the importance of adaptive programming, sustained leadership engagement, and community ownership in driving long-term impact and safer communities.

This is more than a forum, it is a deliberate and growing movement of empowered girls and accountable leadership, shaping safer, more inclusive communities from the ground up.

Continuing to Invest in Education. Protecting Futures.

INUA K**E, in partnership with Desia Memorial Foundation, continues to strengthen access to quality education through the donation of KICD-approved CBC textbooks worth KES 445,700 to learners at Torati Angels Education Centre in Korogocho.

This support provides learners with essential learning materials to enhance participation, improve outcomes, and reduce barriers to education.

For INUA K**E, education is a powerful tool for protection and empowerment. Keeping learners, especially the girl-child, in school reduces vulnerability to sexual exploitation, child marriage, early pregnancies, child labour, and other forms of violence, while creating opportunities for confidence, dignity, and a brighter future.

Together, we continue to invest in children, strengthen communities, and ensure every learner has the opportunity to thrive.

A Strong Start for the Girls Rise Nairobi Project in Baba Dogo!

Today marked an important milestone as INUA K**E, together with our grassroots partners, officially launched the Girls Rise Nairobi Project through a successful community entry and stakeholder engagement meeting in Babadogo, Nairobi.

The meeting brought together a diverse group of stakeholders, including the Area Chief, Children's Officer, Community Health Promoters (CHPs), Community-Based Facilitators (CBFs), Nyumba Kumi representatives, village elders, parents, religious leaders, and other community leaders. We were also honored to welcome partner organizations whose shared commitment to child protection and adolescent wellbeing strengthens our collective vision for safer communities.

More than a project launch, this was the beginning of a united movement to prevent violence against children and young people. By bringing together government institutions, civil society organizations, community structures, and local leadership, we reaffirmed that protecting children is a shared responsibility that can only be achieved through collaboration, coordination, and sustained community action.

The engagement provided an opportunity to introduce the Girls Rise Nairobi Project and its implementation team, share the project's vision and objectives, listen to the voices, priorities, and aspirations of community members, and identify practical opportunities for partnership in creating safe, inclusive, and empowering environments where girls and young people can thrive.

The discussions also reinforced the importance of a collective approach to violence prevention, with stakeholders committing to work hand in hand to strengthen community-based child protection systems, promote girls' rights, amplify young people's voices, and ensure timely referral and response mechanisms for children at risk.

As the project begins, we are encouraged by the overwhelming support and commitment demonstrated by community leaders, government representatives, partner organizations, and residents of Babadogo. Together, we are laying the foundation for resilient communities where every girl and every child is safe, valued, protected, and empowered to reach their full potential.

This community entry marks the first step in a journey of partnership, accountability, and lasting impact. Together, we will continue building a future where violence has no place and every child has the opportunity to flourish.

Together, we rise. Together, we protect. Together, we build safer futures for every girl and every child.

Investing in Education. Protecting Futures. Empowering Communities.

Yesterday, INUA K**E, in partnership with Desia Memorial Foundation, proudly donated KICD-approved Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC) textbooks worth KES 638,621 to New Starlight School in Korogocho, reaffirming our shared commitment to ensuring every child has access to quality education.

The donation will benefit learners across the entire educational journey, from Pre-Primary (PP1 & PP2), Lower Primary (Grades 1- 3), Upper Primary (Grades 4-6), to Junior Secondary School (Grades 7-9), ensuring that every learner has access to the latest curriculum-approved learning materials.

For INUA K**E, this is far more than a book donation. It is a strategic investment in the agency, safety, resilience, and future of children, particularly girls, living in underserved communities.

Education is one of the strongest protective factors against child marriage, child labour, sexual exploitation, early pregnancy, school dropout, and other forms of violence that disproportionately affect girls in informal settlements. By ensuring learners have the essential resources required to participate effectively in school, this initiative strengthens resilience, promotes equal educational opportunities, and advances long-term social inclusion.

The textbook distribution also reflects our prevention approach by reducing educational inequality, supporting learners who are at risk of dropping out, and creating pathways towards lifelong learning, empowerment, and economic independence. Every textbook placed in a child's hands is an investment in confidence, dignity, leadership, and the opportunity to build a safer and more just future.

Together, we are demonstrating that when communities invest in education, they also invest in protecting children, preventing violence, and nurturing the next generation of leaders.

Together, we are not just distributing books, we are opening doors to opportunity, protecting futures, and building stronger, safer, and more inclusive communities.
