EmpowerHer, Empowerment for Women Through Coaching
Coaching for Women's Empowerment
This project is a holistic empowerment program for vulnerable young pregnant women and mothers in Kibera, Nairobi. The program includes group and individual coaching to identify talents and goals to work towards; training in business and personal finance, and work-related soft skills. All this through coaching sessions that allow us to accompany them in achieving their dreams, being themselves the protagonists of their empowerment, ensuring long-term impact for them, their families and communities. This programme aims to break cycles of poverty by combining emotional support, skill-building, and sustainable pathways to independence.
This project moved me immediately (something essential when it comes to engaging others) because of the population involved — teenage mothers in a state of absolute vulnerability — and because of the loving yet determined way the project’s leader acts, a woman who, at 70 years old, continues her mission, now with the help of new generations.
WINNER STATEMENTWe are deeply honored and happy to receive the iF SOCIAL IMPACT PRIZE 2025! This recognition celebrates the strength of women we work with in Kenya. The funds will help us expand our EmpowerHer program, providing economic empowerment through training, tools, and opportunities for dignified, independent livelihoods to our Maisha mothers.
