When 11-year-old Soyian’s grandmother began pulling her out of class to arrange her marriage, it seemed her education and her childhood were about to end. In her Maasai community, early marriage is still seen as a way to secure a girl’s future. But thanks to For the Good, Soyian is still in school. Through its Team Angaza program, young Maasai women visit families like Soyian’s to listen, build trust, and show how education can transform not just one girl’s life, but an entire community.
With support from Together Women Rise, For the Good is expanding its reach across southern Kenya, providing mentorship, reusable menstrual pads, and reproductive health education to thousands more girls so they can stay in school, delay marriage, and define their own futures.

Seventeen-year-old Ly dreamed of staying in school, but her family’s poverty made that nearly impossible. With no transportation, she sometimes walked 8 kilometers to class. Her father, a single parent, worked long days spraying pesticides in the rice fields, yet could not afford basic school supplies.
Thanks to Lotus Outreach International’s Girls Access to Education (GATE) project, supported by Together Women Rise, Ly now has the school materials, transportation, and food her family needs. With these barriers removed, she is thriving in her final year of high school and determined to pursue higher education—proving that when girls are given the chance, they can transform not only their own lives, but their families and communities too.

Women account for less than 15 percent of all landowners worldwide, often due to discriminatory laws or social and cultural barriers that prevent them from acquiring, controlling and inheriting land. Strengthening land rights for women and girls is key to advancing gender equality, ending poverty, and ensuring a sustainable planet.
That’s why Together Women Rise is partnering with Landesa, an organization working to secure land rights for millions of the world’s poorest, especially rural women. Our investments are supporting meaningful systems change related to women’s land rights and equality.
