Alliance For Women And Girls

This past Saturday, we hosted a thought-provoking X Space with our incredible partners Ajambo Mary and Prudence Mbaura M, representing Motherly Heart and Mukadzi Munhuwo. The discussion explored the profound impact of climate change on girls' and women’s rights, including education, bodily autonomy, and economic and political participation. Key takeaways from the conversation: ? Education as a Climate Solution. Mary emphasized that investing in girls' education is critical for climate resilience. She highlighted the need for climate-resilient infrastructure to ensure students access and complete their primary and secondary education. ? Strengthening Protection & Economic Empowerment – Prudence Mbaura underscored the importance of collaborating with law enforcement to safeguard women from gender-based violence (GBV). She also stressed that economic empowerment is key. Pairing GBV prevention with climate-smart agriculture can enhance women’s safety and economic stability in the face of climate challenges. Our discussion reinforced that climate adaptation and mitigation must be multisectoral and gender-responsive to truly create lasting change. Missed the conversation?

The Girls Legacy seeks to invest in young women’s education and leadership through responding to their practical needs, providing mentorship and enabling them to form networks amongst themselves. These networks form a club system which is run by girls themselves in different communities. The premise of the clubs is to create learning hubs for girls through a holistic approach that facilitates interpersonal and intra-personal empowerment for the girls. Keep at it! #IWD2025

DAY 3 of HAESI Campaign 2025: Amplifying Female Founders. Female founders are shaping the future—innovating, leading, and creating opportunities in spaces where they were once unheard. Yet, their voices remain underrepresented. It’s time to change that. At #HAESI, we believe that empowering women founders isn’t just about funding or mentorship; it’s about ensuring their voices are heard, their ideas valued, and their impact recognized. When we amplify female founders, we uplift entire communities. Watch this inspiring video showcasing the resilience, vision, and brilliance of women who are transforming industries and rewriting the rules. Let’s celebrate, support, and champion their journeys.
