The Malkia Mentorship Program provide girls with individual mentors, who guide them on a day to day basis on issues that are important to us and to the girls. The girls are able to create a personal relationship with their mentors making it more effective. Our vision is to link as many girls as possible to mentors from within and outside Kenya

In the month of April, we will have the first Malkia Mentorship Workshop that will bring all the mentors down to AIC girls for three days. We also Launch this workshop officially, that will take place every holiday.Stay tuned for more information on the same.

Enjoy this short video and get to know the mentors who went down to meet their mentees. ... See more

On Friday 2nd March, in Partnership with Amref Health Africa, we attended a community-led conference in Ilitilal village, Loitoktok, where we reached over 80 women and 40 adolescent girls with menstrual hygiene education.We also sensitized and identified the menstrual hygiene situation of the women in the village where most of the girls come from. We got a chance to engage the area member of parliament on his commitment to ensuring good hygiene and sanitation in his constituency, especially in schools.
