Gender equality conversions need to move beyond just engagement to co-creation, co-designing, co-owning and co-executing. We must shift the power to the less educated women, women in rural areas, women in resource poor households and other marginalized women who are the most disadvantaged.”
Using the Level-Next Generation Game Changers guide, we are co-creating, co-designing and co-executing different strategies and approaches that fit and respond to every woman’s, girl’s and community’s needs, dreams and aspirations. We are facilitating participatory approaches to break social norms and gender stereotypes that hinder women and girls from achieving their full potential in life.
Starting off in 2023,we engaged 30 women involved with community leadership (addressing Gender based violence, land rights, early marriages), in Bungoma County, through leadership and advocacy development sessions to help them challenge societal norms and gender stereotypes which are obstructing their decision making positions in their community and fight the vices.
Our first community advocacy activity in Cheptais, Bungoma County with Solidarity Women Group.
In 2024, through support from The Network for Social Change Charitable Trust (UK), we have started off the Game Changers program together with 20 women in a farming community in Baringo County. Using participatory approaches, the women have gone through a blend of personal development, leadership skills and practical farming.
