Location: Kenya

Grant Amount: $50,000

Grantee Website: forthegood.org

Mission of For the Good
For the Good partners with communities to support girls’ access to education so they are equipped and emboldened to drive their own lives.

Summary
Our grant will expand access to education for girls in a remote, high-need region of southern Kenya. It will also provide reusable menstrual pads and health education to local girls and women on critical topics such as menstrual hygiene and sexual and reproductive health and rights.

Why We Love This
We love that For the Good envisions a world where every girl can go to school. Interns are female secondary school graduates from the local Maasai communities. There is also a focus on conservation as girls learn about land rights, conservation, problem solving, critical thinking, and more.
