Help Empower Kenyan Women and Girls through Education!


Education has become a foundation of global development. It’s not just about what is taught in schools—it’s about the profound impact education has on the mental, physical, and cognitive well-being of individuals. Recognized by the United Nations as a Sustainable Development Goal (SDG #4), quality education is crucial for fostering economic development and ensuring long-term sustainability.


However, for many girls and women in Kenya, access to education is far from guaranteed. The WAGES program addresses this critical issue by focusing on gender equality, combating the deep-rooted social norms that favor boys and men when it comes to schooling. Girls must overcome significant barriers—ranging from social and infrastructural challenges to long, unsafe journeys to reach schools.


The result? A staggering 56% of girls in Kenya drop out of school, a number worsened following the Covid-19 crisis. Without education, these girls face an uncertain future, while educated women have the power to uplift entire communities and contribute to national growth.


How You Can Help

We need to raise £1,355 to cover the cost of purchasing 250 t-shirts from Vista Print, which will be sold to raise funds for the WAGES program. Here’s how you can get involved:

  • Donate to help us purchase these t-shirts.

  • Spread the word by sharing our campaign with friends, family, and colleagues.

  • Buy a t-shirt when they’re available to help us continue raising funds for WAGES.


Why Your Help Matters

By purchasing and selling these t-shirts, we aim to raise £1,109.01 for the WAGES program, ensuring that girls in Kenya have the opportunity to pursue their education without interruption. This initiative will help create lasting change by supporting scholarships that empower girls to break the cycle of poverty and inequality through education.


“Wear It Forward: Empower Women, Transform Lives!”

Together, we can provide hope, opportunity, and education to those who need it most. Every contribution helps create a brighter future for these girls and women. Thank you for your support!
