Adolescent and Sexual Reproductive Health
WOVOP works alongside adolescent girls and young women so they can understand their bodies, stay in school, and make informed choices about their health and their futures.
Adolescent girls and young women face real barriers to health, education, and safety. Across this thematic area, WOVOP combines sexual and reproductive health education, practical support, and community-led advocacy so that girls can stay in school, understand their rights, and shape their own futures.
Our work reaches from classrooms and informal settlements to county policy. We equip girls with knowledge and life skills, keep the most vulnerable in school, and strengthen the capacity of whole communities to identify and respond to their own health needs.
Because when you invest in a girl, you invest in her community. And when a community invests in its girls, everyone rises.
Keep A Girl Safe And In School Campaign
For many girls in Kisumu County, poverty and lack of basic necessities can stand between them and their education. The Keep A Girl Safe And In School Campaign responds to these challenges by providing practical support to at-risk girls, helping them stay in school, maintain their dignity and pursue their dreams.
The campaign works with girls from informal settlements and rural communities across Kisumu County, including Bandani, Kibos, Obunga, Manyatta, Nyalenda, Otonglo and parts of Kisumu East and West. In those areas, we identified 2,000 at-risk girls who need support and without it, they would otherwise not be in school. We currently support 15 girls to be and remain in school through school fee assistance and mentorship, while mobilising resources to reach more.
The campaign complements our Girls Talk programme by addressing some of the everyday barriers that prevent girls from continuing their education. We believe every girl deserves the support and opportunity to learn, grow and build the future she dreams of.
Girls reached through the campaign receive
- Quarterly dignity kits: Sanitary towels, underwear, soap, tissue paper and face towels to support menstrual hygiene and personal care.
- School fee assistance: Support to help girls remain in school and continue their education.
- Mentorship: Regular guidance and encouragement to help girls build confidence, set goals and pursue their dreams.
- Protection and health education: Support, information and guidance to help girls understand their rights, make informed decisions and stay safe from violence and exploitation.
