On 28th May 2028, Society Empowerment Project (SEP), in partnership with Divine Drops and the County Government of Homa Bay, successfully commemorated the Global Menstrual Hygiene Management (MHM) Day under the theme of promoting menstrual dignity, health, and equal opportunities for girls and women.

The celebration featured educational sessions, community dialogue, demonstrations on menstrual hygiene management, and distribution of menstrual health information and products. The event provided a platform for participants to openly discuss menstruation, break myths and misconceptions, and advocate for inclusive support from families, schools, and communities.

Special gratitude goes to the Ministry of Health (MoH), Kenya Red Cross, KMET, and all other partners and stakeholders whose support contributed to the impactful celebration.

Turning Waste into Opportunity – SEP Circular Briquette Initiative
Yesterday, SEP hosted a Red Cross team for a field visit to assess our innovative circular briquette economy. The visit is part of an ongoing three-day boot camp on agricultural waste management, where SEP is actively participating and contributing practical solutions. During the engagement, we showcased how agricultural waste is transformed into eco-friendly briquettes, a sustainable alternative to traditional fuels that helps:
• Reduce environmental pollution
• Promote clean and affordable energy
• Create income-generating opportunities for the community
• Support sustainable livelihoods
This initiative reflects our commitment to climate-smart solutions that not only protect the environment but also empower communities economically.
At SEP, we believe that waste is not waste, it’s an opportunity for innovation, sustainability, and growth.
