👨🏾‍🌾 Men at the Center of Change
Real change begins when men step up—not as bystanders, but as protectors, educators, and champions of safe communities.
At Jelida Foundation, we actively engage men and fathers in conversations that challenge harmful norms and traditions. When men speak out and take responsibility, FGM, GBV, and teenage pregnancy lose their stronghold.
Under the shade of community trees, honest dialogue happens. Wisdom is shared. Futures are protected. This is how transformation starts—with men choosing to lead with courage, accountability, and care.
🌱 Empowerment beyond dialogue
We also promote economic independence through vertical sack farming.
We sell high-quality vertical grow bags, ideal for farming in limited spaces, and we professionally install them at an affordable fee—helping families grow food, income, and resilience right at home.

Jelida Foundation | Educating Young Men to Break the Cycle
At Jelida Foundation, we believe that real and lasting change begins with those who will shape tomorrow. Educating young men is not an option—it is a necessity. When boys and young men are guided with the right knowledge, values, and safe spaces for dialogue, they grow into protectors of dignity, champions of equality, and leaders of positive change within their communities.
Through open discussions and mentorship, we help young men understand that FGM, GBV, and teenage pregnancy are not cultural strengths but harmful practices that destroy futures. Many of these issues persist because of silence, misinformation, and pressure to conform. By addressing them early, we replace myths with facts, fear with empathy, and harmful masculinity with responsible manhood.
When young men learn the physical, emotional, and social consequences of FGM, they become voices of reason in their families and peer groups. When they understand consent, respect, and shared responsibility, GBV loses its power. When they are equipped with knowledge about sexual and reproductive health, teenage pregnancy is prevented, and both boys and girls are given a chance to pursue education and opportunity.
We are intentional about involving young men because they are future fathers, husbands, brothers, and community leaders. The values they adopt today will determine the safety and wellbeing of generations to come. A community that educates its boys raises men who protect girls, respect women, and uphold human dignity.
This is how change happens—not through punishment, but through education, awareness, and dialogue.
At Jelida Foundation, we are committed to nurturing informed young men who choose justice over silence and action over indifference.

A well-taken-care-of plant blooms fully 🌱—its roots grow strong, its leaves nourish, and its harvest sustains many.
In the same way, a community nurtured with knowledge and awareness—from the youngest child to the oldest elder—grows strong, informed, and resilient.
At Jelida Foundation, we believe that when communities are awakened through education and open dialogue, harmful practices lose their power. FGM, GBV, and teenage pregnancy are not signs of culture or strength—they thrive where silence exists.
When we invest in awareness, protection, and empowerment, we raise generations that choose dignity, safety, and opportunity.
Just like this thriving plant, a well-informed community blooms with hope—and together, we can end FGM, GBV, and teenage pregnancy once and for all.

JELIDA FOUNDATION | EMPOWERING MOTHERS, TRANSFORMING HOMES
Mothers are the true home keepers — shaping families, guiding values, and raising the next generation. When mothers are equipped with financial literacy, they gain the power to manage their homes sustainably, make informed decisions, and create safe environments for their children.
At the same time, they become strong voices educating their families on ending GBV, preventing teenage pregnancy, and stopping FGM.
At Jelida Foundation, we stand at the forefront of ending these vices, working hand in hand with mothers to build informed, empowered, and protected communities. When mothers rise, families and communities rise with them. 💜

OUR FATHERS MATTER. THEIR VOICES MATTER. THEIR LEADERSHIP MATTERS.
Ending FGM, Gender-Based Violence, and Teenage Pregnancy is not a women-only conversation.
It is a community responsibility — and our fathers play a critical role.
When fathers speak, communities listen.
When fathers stand, harmful traditions begin to fall.
When fathers choose to protect girls, generations are changed.
At Jelida Foundation, we intentionally involve fathers and male elders because:
They are gatekeepers of culture and tradition
They influence decisions at family and community level
Their guidance protects girls from harmful practices
Their support builds safer homes and stronger futures
These conversations are not about blame — they are about responsibility, protection, and love.
A father who says NO to FGM saves a daughter.
A father who stands against GBV restores dignity.
A father who supports education prevents teenage pregnancy.
Change becomes real when fathers are part of the solution.

🌱🤝 EMPOWERING WOMEN CHAMAS FOR SOCIAL CHANGE 🤝🌱
At Jelida Foundation, we work closely with women chamas as powerful drivers of change within the community. By strengthening these groups through sustainable sack farming and economic empowerment, we help women build stable livelihoods while creating trusted spaces for open dialogue and learning.
Within these chamas, we engage women in meaningful conversations on ending Female Ge***al Mutilation (FGM), Gender-Based Violence (GBV), and teenage pregnancy—linking economic independence with informed decision-making and protection of girls.
When women are empowered economically, they gain the confidence and collective voice to challenge harmful practices, protect their daughters, and champion safer, healthier futures.

20/12/2025

At Jelida Foundation, we believe lasting change starts within the community — not in isolation, but through shared work, learning, and dialogue.
As we engage with communities across Meru County, we intentionally combine hands-on activities such as sustainable farming and environmental restoration with open, honest conversations about the issues that deeply affect families and future generations.
While working side by side with community members, we create safe and respectful spaces to educate, listen, and discuss the urgent need to end Female Ge***al Mutilation (FGM), Gender-Based Violence (GBV), and teenage pregnancy. These discussions are grounded in real life, culture, and lived experiences, making them more relatable, practical, and impactful.
Our approach recognizes that economic empowerment and social change go hand in hand. By supporting sustainable livelihoods like farming, we reduce vulnerability, strengthen families, and empower communities to protect girls and women from harmful practices. When people are engaged, informed, and economically supported, they are better positioned to challenge traditions that cause harm and to choose healthier, safer alternatives.
Jelida Foundation remains committed to grassroots action, community ownership, and long-term transformation. Together with the community, we are planting seeds—not only in the soil, but in minds and hearts—for a future free from violence and discrimination.

The Role of Religious Institutions in Ending FGM, GBV, and Teenage Pregnancy

Religious institutions are more than places of worship — they are pillars of guidance, trust, and moral authority in our communities. From the pulpit to the pews, faith leaders shape beliefs, values, and daily decisions that affect families and generations.

When religious leaders speak out against Female Ge***al Mutilation (FGM), Gender-Based Violence (GBV), and teenage pregnancy, they challenge harmful cultural norms and replace them with messages of dignity, protection, and respect for life. Faith teaches compassion, justice, and the sanctity of the human body — values that stand firmly against violence and harmful practices.

By opening their doors for dialogue, education, and community engagement, religious institutions create safe spaces where truth can be shared, survivors can be supported, and young people can be guided toward healthier futures. When parents listen to their faith leaders, when youth learn in trusted religious spaces, real change begins.

Ending FGM, GBV, and teenage pregnancy is not just a social responsibility — it is a moral calling. Together, with faith at the center, communities can heal, protect their children, and build a future where every girl and woman lives free from harm.

Jelida Foundation continues to partner with religious institutions to amplify voices, strengthen community awareness, and inspire action for lasting change.
