We believe fathers play a powerful role in building strong, resilient communities.
To every father showing up with love, commitment, and care—we see you, we celebrate you, and we thank you.

Today we recognize the strength and resilience of women everywhere. Make your gift in honor of someone meaningful to you—a mother, grandmother, mentor, or someone who inspires you.

When you give, you help women access the tools they need to earn an income, support their families, and build brighter futures. Women reinvest up to 90% of their income back into their families—creating ripple effects that strengthen entire communities.

Make your gift go twice as far this Mother’s Day.

Unpaid Care Work = KSh 2.54 Trillion yearly.
It’s time to value it.
In Kenya, women spend over 3 extra hours every day on unpaid care—cooking, cleaning, and looking after children—compared to men. This time poverty is the biggest barrier to women’s economic freedom.
At WAF-Kenya, we are changing the narrative.
We believe childcare is the missing infrastructure for opportunity. By establishing safe, affordable childcare hubs in low-income communities, we:
Unlock Time: Freeing women to learn, earn, and lead.
Equip Women: Providing training in market-driven skills.
Activate Dreams: Linking women to seed capital and markets to launch businesses.
When childcare is available, women rise and children thrive. Join us in making care work a force for progress.

Some days, our work starts on a bike 🚲—�muddy roads, long journeys, real conversations.
From that first visit, to setting up childcare, to learning new skills,�to building an income‑generating activity step by step.
This is the part you don’t always see.The journey from time poverty to possibility.Change doesn’t arrive overnight.�It’s built — carefully, consistently, together.
This is how we do the work at WAFKenya.

Every single day, childhoods are stolen - and futures are interrupted.
Let this sink in.
For thousands of girls and young women, vulnerability is not just a risk but a daily reality . When they lack comprehensive Sexual and Reproductive Health (SRH) knowledge, economic independence, or a safe place to be, their risk of experiencing violence and exploitation rises. This should not be normal: As we mark the , we cannot stay silent because the fight to cannot be separated from the fight for economic agency.
This is a national crisis . Let's make protection non-negotiable by investing in solutions that build resilience, health, and economic independence of every woman and girl.

Day 2 of . The statistics says it all : 1.8 billion women and girls have no legal protection from digital violence. This gap is a deep threat to women’s economic agency .
When women entrepreneurs and advocates are driven offline because of harrasement and abuse , they are silenced , isolated and lose access to vital information and opportunities.
Let’s not just condemn the act ; let’s invest in the systems that give women the power to stay online , stay safe and stay in business. .
