About Daraja Kenya Initiative

Daraja Kenya Initiative empowers exceptional Kenyan girls living in material poverty by providing a strong academic base and an environment to grow her innate leadership skills. We believe in her ability to lead her community, country, and world to a more just and equitable future. Girls who would have otherwise been exposed to teen pregnancy, early child marriage, Female Genital Mutilation, child employment to help support their families, and living a life of no choice among other challenges, we educate and empower these girls to become community leaders.
