Building Girls' Confidence

Savana Kitui, a community-based organisation in Kenya, integrated the Feminist Mentorship Manual and the What Would You Do? card game into their mentorship programme for girls in primary schools.

 

Before using these resources, mentorship sessions were conducted informally without a structured curriculum. The manual provided mentors with a clear framework to work with different age groups and guide conversations about relationships, self-esteem, and sexual and reproductive health.

A practical guide for mentors working with girls. The manual provides tools and approaches for building mentorship relationships that centre girls’ voices, experiences, and leadership.

The toolkit deepened our mentors’ understanding of feminist principles and how to apply them in real-world situations. Girls have become more confident in expressing their opinions and advocating for their rights.”

A practical planning tool that helps organisations identify the risks girls face in their communities and prioritise actions to address them. The toolkit supports teams to strengthen their programs by integrating gender, safety, and well-being considerations into their planning and decision-making.

This toolkit has helped us identify and prioritise the risks affecting girls in our community. It allowed us to focus our programs on the areas where girls need the most support.
