Day 3 in action! CBOs explored the What Would You Do? card game—unpacking power, bias, SRHR, healthy relationships, and how to facilitate safe, engaging conversations with girls. @girlrising @shesthefirst @murua_girls @DOdenyi @EmmaMogaka @bibian_bilha

H.E Rigathi Gachagua is unapologetically a Kikuyu supremist and a tribalist class A. But he makes a valid point when he calls out leaders from Northern Kenya and tells the truth about them. Hon Rigathi Gachagua is 💯 right when he says (a) Northern Kenya leaders are thieves who steal from their people and invest public funds in Nairobi, (b) Northern Kenyan leaders can't account for about Kshs 1 trillion given to the region since devolution started in 2013. (c) Northern Kenya leaders have not built world class institutions ie schools, hospitals etc and have EATEN CDF money. (d) Northern Kenyans leaders including MCAs are all domiciled in Nairobi and have homes, wives and children only in Nairobi and none in Northern Kenya. Look at Garissa and Marsabit. Where did Kshs 300 billion in devolution money go to? Leaders steal money left, right and centre and nothing happens. Gachagua is playing politics, but when he talks about Northern Kenyan leaders and how they have let down their people he is being truthful and i'm with him 💯.

We were honoured to host the @girlrising team, share our programs and engage in insightful discussions with teachers, parents and girls. Their visit highlighted the GR curriculum’s transformative impact, strengthening our shared commitment to empowering girls through education.

Obama is one of Eliud Kipchoge’s heroes and they finally met 🥹 Just two great Kenyans meeting in Washington

This Saturday and Sunday at 7:30 p.m., I will be revising Mathematics Papers 1 and 2 with the KCSE candidates 2025. Stay tuned on my Facebook page @BabuOwino.

Comrades, This is it. Watch and share widely.

A moment of pure GOAT energy. Greatness recognizing greatness. Serena Williams 👑 Faith Kipyegon. You gotta LOVE this!

Faith Kipyegon wins her 2nd Athlos crown after running the fastest women’s mile ever on U.S. soil, clocking 4:17.78. Congrats!! Faith 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

The power of friendship. In Kenya, girls who participate in our RISE program with Sunflower Trust, Drawing Dreams Initiative and Kilgoris Project lift each other up - in class, after school and in their communities. Meet the friends who are #StrongerTogether every day - studying together, exploring their aspirations together and cheering each other on. Tag a friend who helps you rise.

Isn’t this the same Verah Moraa who’s still occupying the Kajiado County Revenue office illegally months after her contract expired?

Rabia and Bakhtawer are schoolmates, RISE alumnae, girls’ rights advocates, Girl Icons and great friends. In Khairpur (Sindh, Pakistan), they learned side by side in Girl Rising’s RISE program, pushing each other to ask hard questions, try new skills, and speak up. That confidence stuck: today, Rabia leads community workshops that challenge limiting norms and rally neighbors around the power of education—with Bakhtawer cheering her on every step of the way.

Friendship fuels leaders. This #DayoftheGirl, we’re celebrating girls who lift each other — helping one another feel confident, safe, and strong to lead. We invited young women in our programs to honor the friends who stand beside them as changemakers. Like Dayana from Bolivia and Leti from Ecuador, who met through the Future Rising Fellowship and now champion each other’s climate solutions. Stay tuned for a special friendship shout-out on October 11th! 😉

Our PALE girls explored coding & creativity through Scratch, designing games & digital stories that inspire innovation. This hands-on experience build confidence & problem-solving skills, empowering girls to dream big in STEM, thanks to our partnership with @F5 & @PhoenixSpaceOrg

This recording of a young lady from Narok reportedly being assaulted by her brothers in an attempt to compel her to marry a man she does not love is detestable. This is not a cultural practice, it is an act of sexual violence, and such conduct cannot be countenanced. The constitution guarantees individual autonomy and freedom of choice, and equally frowns upon harmful cultural practices that undermine human rights. We call upon the police to promptly identify and arrest the perpetrators of this aggravated act of violence.

Now Onto #TuesdayThoughts "Writing is an act of discovering what you think and what you believe" ~ Dan Pink. Please like & retweet @girlrising @DOdenyi @GratitudeNet if you agree with these #TuesdayThoughts & that #GirlsEducationMatters for any girl child despite her background

Brilliant performance from our unstoppable duo, Beatrice Chebet and Faith Kipyegon, winning gold and silver in the women’s 5000 metres at the World Athletics Championships in Tokyo. This is the spirit of champions, the greatness we strive for as a people. You have led from the front, inspired millions, and shown that Kenya’s winning tradition lives on. From a grateful nation, we say asante; mubarikiwe hadi mshangae.
