A few years ago, Moreen had to leave school.

Today, she’s preparing to study Biomedical Laboratory Science at university.

Our partner Njira Impact (@FOCCAD) helped address the barriers around her: https://t.co/EOjqbCtB1T

A sanitary pad fits in a backpack, but dignity takes more than that.

Our partner OLPS in Kenya is helping girls access #MenstrualHealth education, health care, and stronger support at home so they can stay in school.

Very proud to have another opportunity to speak with the APF!

[African Philanthropy Forum @APForg]

Faith and philanthropy have always shaped communities across Africa. Now imagine what happens when they move together with intention.

We are convening a gathering today in Nairobi to do exactly that — bringing together philanthropists, faith leaders, and funders to explore how we advance gender justice on the continent, together.

@FacesUpUganda So excited about this project! Thank you for all you do ❤️

[Blood:Water @bloodwater]

Local leaders were there before the crisis.

They kept going when funding was cut, supply chains were interrupted, and programs were left without support. They are doing it right now.

Your gift helps extend their reach: https://t.co/RLar1XKm0I

You know what a #leader looks like.

The mother who carried more than you knew. The mentor who showed up. The person who helped you become who you are.

That kind of leadership holds communities together.

The first leader most of us ever knew was a mother.

This Mother’s Day, honor her or another leader who shaped you in a meaningful way. #Give in her name and let her know with an e-card: https://t.co/RLar1XJOba
