Twiga Beneficiaries Remarks from 2024 Workshop

“To be honest, I loved the interaction we had with the powerful and important women in the society. I felt so special and knew that I have people out there who actually care about us. So humbled.

I have learnt a lot about knowing my purpose in life and acknowledging my background. To have confidence, which I can truly testify leads to better places.”

Lelety Nyongesa, Form 3, The Kenya High School

“The thing that I have learned in the workshop and that I am going to apply: I will campaign about Gender Based Violence and also help in community work.”

Synaida Del, Form 1, Bishop Linus Okok Girls’ High School

“I have learnt to be confident enough to speak before a crowd. I have also learnt to have to avoid self-pity.

I have learnt about dealing with stress which back then was my problem but now after the workshop, I am going to practice stress management following the teachings I have gotten.”

Belindah Akoth, Form 3, Nyakach Girls High School

“The speakers: they really encouraged and motivated us. I really leant that no situation is permanent. I am going to persevere knowing that no situation is permanent. I can be nobody today and be somebody tomorrow.

I would like to give girls sex education, to make them know how boys are very big liars, by telling them my story and teaching them how they can protect themselves.”

Emmaculate Akinyi, Pre- University

“I have learnt to be confident. Not to let my problems define me. We should network with people. We should have a good life. I must be passionate in life. I should put God first.”

Juliet Akinyi, Form 1, Kisumu Girls’ High School

“I must have an aim, vision and mission in life. If God-willing, I will join hands with Twiga to help other kids after I finish University.”

Jane Grace, Form 1, St. Alloys Ojolla Girls’ High School

“I have known that it is not only me that is going through hard times. You only need to be focused and persevere.”

Larine Ruth Awino, Form 2, Moi Suba girls’ Secondary School

“Everything has been well planned. The food was well prepared and served, we were warmly welcomed and the rooms were well laid out. It was just spectacular!”
