The journey continues!

Following up on the Cohort 2 participants orientation workshop that took place earlier in the week, we brought participants back together for personal development and life skills sessions as the momentum keeps building.

The sessions facilitated by Suzan Wairimu (Team Lead at Inspire Teenagers Foundation), covered essential ground including self-discovery, emotional wellbeing and personal effectiveness, goal setting, decision-making and life management, as well as sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR), equipping all participants with the knowledge and confidence to make informed choices about their bodies, health and futures.

Every participant in Cohort 2 is showing up ready to learn, grow and invest in themselves and we're ready to walk alongside them as they prepare to take on the different pathways within the project.

New journeys begin with connection.

On 21st and 22nd September, we did the Cohort 2 participants orientation, bringing them together to get to know one another and share expectations as they prepare to join the different pathways within the ! project.

The two days covered valuable ground, from careers and employability to turning skills and passion into sustainable businesses and income. Participants left equipped not just with information, but with a sense of community and purpose as they begin this journey.

As Cohort 2 sets out on this journey, we look forward to walking alongside each participant as they work toward their goals.

On 17th and 18th September, the Now Me! Project partners held a Communications Campaign Design Participatory Workshop in Nairobi, bringing together representatives from AICS Nairobi, the State Department of Gender and Affirmative Action (SDGAA), the project partners Koinonia Community Amani for Africa AIDOS Associazione italiana donne per lo sviluppo and storielibere.fm and our community radio's partners Mtaani Radio Radio Domus and Pamoja FM Radio. The Voice of Kibra.

Facilitated by Elena Zaccherini a Gender and Human Rights-Based Approach (HRBA) expert, the two-day engagement focused on co-designing the Now Me! gender transformative communication campaign, one that tells the journeys of empowerment of women and girls in situations of vulnerability, moving beyond exclusive and stereotypical narratives.

The partners defined the campaign's change objectives, priority audience, key messages, actions, roles and indicative timeframes laying the groundwork for a campaign shaped by collaboration and shared purpose.

During their recent visit to Nairobi, the storielibere.fm team spent time immersing themselves in the journeys of Now Me! participants across our different pathways. They listened to understand what life looked like before joining the project, how daily life looks now and how Now Me! is supporting participants to thrive socially, psychologically and economically.

The visit included time at our safe house, Tabasamu La Mama, as well as conversations with participants who, through the project, have enrolled in school or started their own businesses.

Every story shared is a reminder of why this work matters, meeting people where they are, and walking with them toward the futures they're building for themselves.

Thank you, Storielibere, for taking the time to listen. 🙏

storielibere.fm, in collaboration with Amani for Africa and Koinonia Community, facilitated a week-long podcast, audio production and storytelling workshop at Diakonia Training Institute. The cascading workshop brought together Diakonia and Now Me staff, representatives from our local radio partners and both both emerging and experienced podcasting enthusiasts from the community.

What we found was remarkable. Participants showed up curious, new talents emerged, ideas came to life and through real team spirit and active participation the group successifully completed an entire podcast project in just five days.

This is only the beginning. Through the , we are establishing a podcast course and studio at Diakonia Training Institute, creating opportunities where future participants with a passion for podcasting will learn audio production and use their voices to raise awareness on gender equality and women's empowerment in the community.

When everyone has the chance to tell their story, the whole community listens. 🎙️💜🎧

The NOW ME! Project hosted a powerful participants' dialogue at Shalom House "In Her Shoes: Listening to NOW ME! Participants and Shaping Women-Centred Communication."

Unlike a typical training, this was a dialogue, not a lecture. NOW ME! participants took center stage, sharing how they want to be seen, heard, and represented in the media, in their communities and in every story told about them.

The conversation was guided by Queenter Mbori, Executive Director of the Association of Media Women in Kenya (AMWIK), who facilitated an open, reflective discussion on how women are currently represented drawing out real experiences, concerns and honest reflections from participants themselves.

Together, participants explored questions like:
* How do you want your story told?
* What language makes you feel respected?
* What images make you feel seen — not stereotyped?
* What message would you want the world to hear about women like you?

The goal? To move communication from speaking about women, to listening to women from portraying women only through challenges, to recognizing their resilience, achievements and agency too.

The insights gathered will directly shape the NOW ME Communication Strategy, ensuring that every story we tell is authentic, dignified and rooted in the voices of the women it represents.

Because nothing about women should be communicated without first understanding how they want to be seen. 💙

Yesterday, the NOW ME Project hosted a powerful workshop at Shalom House "Communicating with Dignity: Advancing Gender-Sensitive Communication." The training challenged staff and partners to move beyond narratives of vulnerability, toward communication that recognizes women as leaders, innovators and agents of change.

We were honoured to host distinguished experts: Professor Julia Ojiambo (keynote on women's dignity and leadership), Judie Kaberia (ethical storytelling and gender-transformative communication), Queenter Mbori, ED of AMWIK (inclusive storytelling) and George Njuguna, NOW ME Programmes Officer.

Through dialogue, role plays and reflection, participants explored gender-sensitive language, ethical storytelling, and respectful representation — walking away with tools to shape the project's draft Gender Communication Guidelines.

Because how we speak about women matters as much as the work we do for them. 💙 By seeing the world "In Her Shoes," the workshop was a step toward transforming mindsets, one conversation at a time.

Under the Now Me Project, AIDOS Associazione italiana donne per lo sviluppo is investing in something powerful - 𝐩𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞.

From 27th–29th July and 5th–7th August, AIDOS engaged two cohorts of expert consultants to deliver foundational training for the Koinonia Community and Amani for Africa staff and trainers of participants equipping them to recognize harmful gender norms and unequal power relations and to respond with tools that transform, not just support.

The way we understand gender shapes how we show up for the women and young women we work with every day. These trainings built a shared understanding of gender equality and equipped participants with practical gender-transformative tools from power analysis to positive masculinities to reflective practice needed to walk alongside women in ways that are truly empowering.

Because real change starts with awareness, grows through reflection and is sustained through action.

This is how we build a more gender-equal paths. 💪

Throughout this month, participants in the NOW Me! Project undergoing rehabilitation at Tabasamu La Mama have been doing more than healing, they've been building. Through life-skills sessions, group learning and counselling, they are equipping themselves to claim opportunities, build livelihoods and lead with confidence, resilience and capacity to make informed decisions about their futures.

This is what empowerment looks like: not waiting for change, but becoming the ones who drive it.

Through the combined efforts of Koinonia Community Amani for Africa AIDOS Associazione italiana donne per lo sviluppo Comunità Nuova storielibere.fm the Now Me! project which has been supported by AICS Nairobi will stand with them as partners in their journey as they lead change, seize opportunities and contribute to more inclusive and sustainable communities.

The NOW ME Communications Team participated in a two-day training on Gender Transformative and Conflict-Sensitive Reporting, organized by the Association of Media Women in Kenya (AMWIK) in collaboration with the Friedrich Naumann Foundation. The training aimed to strengthen the team's capacity in gender-sensitive reporting, ethical storytelling and conflict-sensitive communication, equipping participants with practical skills for developing inclusive and respectful communication content.

The training brought together journalists from across Nakuru County, alongside representatives from the Media Council of Kenya (MCK) and the Office of the Registrar of Political Parties (ORPP). Their participation enriched the discussions by providing diverse perspectives on responsible media practice, ethical reporting and the role of communication in promoting gender equality and social cohesion.
