Our programs

AGYW Health and Wellness Alliance is a pioneering initiative created by young women in Kenya, aimed at empowering adolescent girls and young women to lead healthier lives.

01. Mental Health Program

At AGYW Health and Wellness Alliance, our Mental Well-being Program is designed to support the emotional and psychological health of adolescent girls and young women up to the age of 25. The program focuses on fostering resilience, promoting self-care practices, and building a supportive community where young women can thrive mentally and emotionally. We begin by raising awareness about common mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, and eating disorders through interactive workshops that not only educate participants but also help them recognize early warning signs in themselves and others. By addressing mental health openly, we aim to reduce the stigma surrounding these topics and encourage our girls to seek help when needed. We distribute easy-to-understand resources that explain different mental health conditions, their treatment options, and where to access services in the local community.Through peer support networks, mindfulness activities, and partnerships with counselors, our program empowers young women to prioritize their mental health in a safe and inclusive environment.

02. Leadership and Mentorship Program

At AGYW Health and Wellness Alliance, our Leadership and Mentorship Programs are designed to build leadership skills, confidence, and decision-making abilities in adolescent girls and young women, including young mothers, up to the age of 25. Through our leadership training workshops, we focus on essential skills like effective communication, public speaking, and teamwork. These workshops are interactive, allowing participants to practice these skills in a supportive environment, building the self-confidence needed to navigate leadership roles both in their personal lives and communities. We also run a peer mentorship program, where older girls or young mothers mentor younger participants, offering guidance, support, and real-life advice on challenges they may face. This fosters a sense of sisterhood and shared experience, empowering younger girls to learn from their peers. Our participants are also given opportunities to take on leadership roles within group projects and community events, allowing them to apply what they’ve learned in real-world settings. To further inspire them, we host guest speaker events and panels featuring successful women from diverse fields, including entrepreneurs, activists, and professionals, who share their journeys and provide valuable insights into leadership. These programs create a strong foundation for young women to grow into confident, capable leaders ready to make a positive impact in their communities.

04. The Environmental Awareness Program

The Environmental Awareness Program at AGYW Health and Wellness Alliance aims to encourage adolescent girls and young women to embrace environmental stewardship and sustainable living. Through engaging workshops on sustainability, climate change, and practical ways to reduce their environmental impact, participants gain knowledge and tools to make eco-conscious decisions. The program also involves hands-on activities like community clean-ups, recycling drives, and gardening or conservation projects, fostering a sense of responsibility for their surroundings. Additionally, environmental advocacy training empowers young women to champion green initiatives within their communities, equipping them with the skills to promote sustainability on a larger scale.
