Malkia Initiative

Educating 32,000 Girls by 2027

Why Our Work Matters

In rural pastoralist communities, a girl's ability to stay in school is shaped by a complex ecosystem. We respond directly to household economic pressures, geographical margins, menstrual equity constraints, and early marriages by creating community-driven systems change where girls lead the resolution.
