Sometimes the journey to make a difference is not easy—but the mission must continue.✨💪💕
For two days, the team from Awoche Foundation travelled towards Lokichar Girls Primary School in Turkana County to mentor girls and distribute essential toiletries. Along the way, while passing through West Pokot County, a flooded river destroyed the road and we were forced to wait for 9 hours.
But instead of giving up or simply waiting, we chose to turn the delay into impact. We visited St Luke Kepkorniswo Senior School near Kapenguria, where we conducted a mentorship session with students.
Later, after the road was repaired, we continued our journey through the challenging ASAL terrain ; a region also affected by banditry. Despite the difficulties, the following morning we finally arrived at Lokichar Girls Primary School.
The reception was heartwarming. The DCC, the local chief, the headmistress, and the girls welcomed us warmly. Our team mentored the girls on SRHR and the menstrual cycle, and distributed various toiletries to support their hygiene and dignity.
Moments like these remind us why we do what we do. When communities come together, challenges become part of the journey not the end of it.
Every girl deserves knowledge, dignity, and support.
