Jambo Blast - Nov 2024 Educating and Equipping our Girls!

Dear Friends of  the Watumull Children’s Fund,

Here is a glimpse of our most recent Teen Leadership Challenge ( TLC) that we held at Amati Initiative in Kakamega in rural Kenya.

We chose 100 girls representing 4 poor schools in this area.  We taught them all about puberty and their changing bodies.  Culturally, Kenyans don’t talk to their girls about these subjects, so it’s a scary and very confusing time in these girls’ lives, and because of lack of money, pads are not readily available.

So Watumull Children gives reusable sanitary pads and panties out with the teaching,.  We provide small group discussion and lots of question and answer time.

We serve a lot of good food, and the girls leave with knowledge to help them handle this huge life transition.  Our goal is to prevent early dropout and teen pregnancy.  So far, it’s working, as we are seeing more girls present in our upper grades!  

        Thank you, donors!  This is the power of our partnership!
