help girls step into their potential. Donate today.
2 in 3 girls across Kenya lack access to health education and sanitary pads.
40% of teen girls are pregnant or have begun childbearing.
25% of girls drop out of school by the time they reach puberty.
These harrowing statistics have only grown as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic.
There is no magic bullet solution to girls’ education, safety, and empowerment. These are complex issues requiring complex, holistic solutions.
ZanaAfrica addresses these challenges by equipping adolescent girls in Kenya with the tools they need to safely navigate puberty and unlock their potential.
These tools include sanitary pads and rights-based reproductive health education, delivered in the form of social and behavior change content (SBCC) through comics and magazines delivered to both girls and boys through schools and community organizations.
