Rural Girls Fund is a 3-year strategic plan that is committed to making strategic investments in smart underprivileged rural girls in Kenya. In the next 3 years, the fund would commit to;
This Fund communicates growth for our now-registered organization. It’s a step in the right direction and we are excited to have you as part of this journey. You have stood with us this far and made such an incredible impact on the now 40 girls that we serve in our Girls Educate and Twashinda program. We celebrate you and hope that you will continue walking with us.
