Today is #InternationalDaytoEndObstetricFistula a birth injury caused by prolonged, painful labour without proper care. It leaves women leaking urine or stool and often facing shame and isolation. We must act now and invest in maternal health and support recovery .  #SautiZetu

When our communities are informed and emotionally available our young people feel seen & supported. we discern that the journey to youth mental wellbeing is not walked alone. It begins at home, where daily interactions are vital before any professional intervention. #Bonga

Among the issues that arose during our discussion are: 1. Need to provide space that nurture talent and provide safe spaces. 2. Children face vulnerabilities such as teenage pregnancy and substance abuse. 3. Poverty & economic struggles often led to negative mechanisms. #Bonga

What does it take to bleed proudly and boldly? A girl misses school because she does not have sanitary towels. A woman skips work because of menstrual pain. Bonga! We lose our power if we remain silent! #CommunityVoices

PERIOD POVERTY IS A GLOBAL INJUSTICE. From rural Kenya to refugee camps and inner cities—millions of girls and women bleed in silence, missing school, risking health, and losing dignity. It’s not just about pads. It’s about power. It’s time we say: Pads are not a luxury. Periods

According to World Bank, 95% of menstruating girls in Kenya miss 1 to 3 days of school during their periods This isn’t just a health issue, it's an education and dignity gap. As an organisation, we believe that education must go hand in hand with holistic wellbeing. #SautiZetu
