Celebrating Women’s History Month:
Girls Leading Change from Classrooms to Climate Action
This Women’s History Month, we’re celebrating the next generation of leaders rising through WGEP’s Our Sisters Lead program—young women and male allies who are not only imagining a more equitable future, but actively building it.
In the spirit of this year’s Ndajee theme: From Education to Climate Action—Girls Leading Change, these students are stepping into leadership roles in their schools and communities across Senegal. Through peer-led discussions, radio programs, and community campaigns, they are sparking conversations and driving action on issues that matter most: gender equality, preventing early marriage, expanding access to education, and ending gender violence.
Students in our Our Sisters Lead program taking action in their community.
This year alone, Our Sisters Lead is empowering 293 girls and 73 male champions in two rural high schools with the tools, confidence, and skills to lead. Their work reflects a powerful truth we see every day: when girls are educated and supported to lead, they don’t just transform their own lives—they become catalysts for stronger, more resilient communities.
At WGEP, we know investing in girls’ education creates lasting change for families, communities, and our planet. This month and beyond, join us in celebrating and supporting these incredible young leaders shaping a more just, sustainable future.
TWWP Recognized Among Kenya’s Top 100 Organizations
TWWP accepts their DIAR Top 100 award in Nairobi, Kenya.
This Women’s History Month, we’re proud to celebrate our partner, Tharaka Women’s Welfare Programme (TWWP), for being named among the DIAR Top 100 Taifa Organizations™—a national recognition of leadership in inclusion, equity, impact, and sustainability.
At the heart of this work is Aniceta Kiriga, Executive Director of TWWP and a true trailblazer for girls’ rights. Since 1996, she has pioneered the Alternative Rite of Passage (ARP), creating a powerful, community-driven alternative to harmful traditional practices. What began as a local initiative has grown into a globally recognized model—empowering generations of girls, uplifting families, and transforming entire communities.
This recognition not only celebrates TWWP’s impact but also honors the legacy of women like Aniceta who are redefining leadership and creating change. In the spirit of Ndajee’s theme—girls leading change—we celebrate the ripple effect of women’s leadership from one community to the world.
Join us in congratulating TWWP on this incredible national recognition—honoring their leadership, impact, and unwavering commitment to girls and communities across Kenya!
