Neema Project

NEEMA exists to empower vulnerable young women in rural Kenya through skills training, counseling, and discipleship. Invest in a woman, invest in a generation.

Join us and provide a way out of extreme poverty for TWICE as many women and their children in Kenya. Through this campaign that will build a new campus, you can help us double the impact! What role will you play in securing the future of a young woman? https://t.co/11IeEvQPe3

Nineteen year old Brenda shares in her own voice about how her experience at Neema has impacted her sisters and her parents. We’re so proud of her growth and excited for her to graduate at the end of 2022! https://t.co/2qYRYnT4u7

“In Kenya, there’s an assumption that children are everyone’s responsibility—a built-in support system. It’s a way to share the strain of childrearing, a job that "takes a village”. And at Neema, about 50% of our students have one or more children.”

We now have our own well on our new land! 💦 We are so grateful to have reliable access to #cleanwater AND to begin sharing this water with our local community once we complete the building of our new campus. We’re also now harvesting our first crops on the land!

Catherine used to be worried that her parents might not be able to afford healthy meals. But now, with the care she’s found at Neema, she says, “I feel at peace and I am able to concentrate in class. I have no stress because I know my child is well fed and well taken care of.”

Neema recently hired a part-time manager to follow up with and support our alumni, ensuring they thrive as young professionals. Our graduates are empowered to make their own decisions, no longer left to enter undignified forms of work, and are changing the lives of others!

In areas of #Kenya where #poverty and #genderinequality are high, like Kitale, only 19% of girls are in school. And of those in the first year of school, 1/5 (or less) make it to their eighth year (@borgenproject ). Click to learn how you can help! https://t.co/4zsTl9DZak

So far in 2021, 30 young women have been served in #counseling, #discipleship, and skills training by Neema! We've witnessed stories of transformation, grew through #Covid19, and developed our giving communities. See our mid-year #ImpactReport. https://t.co/6G1j2hdC0X

Due to #Covid vaccine shortages, less than 2% of the Kenyan population was vaccinated as of mid-June. Neema is experiencing the effects of these shortages and lack of health infrastructure. Pray with us for those in #Kenya with limited vaccine access. #ruralkenya #COVID19Vaccine

75% of girls attend primary school but only 8% attend secondary school in #SubSaharanAfrica. Retaining girls in school is critical to increasing women’s literacy rates. (@MalalaFund). Visit https://t.co/r9zlsjsgp9 to learn about #genderinequality and #education in #ruralKenya.

2020 was a year nobody could predict. But thanks to YOU, we were able to see our students through the year, graduate 16 young women from our program, and adapt to provide for families more effectively. Click below to see our full 2020 Impact Report. https://t.co/isWMP4Lqvx

These are the types of women we work with here at Neema. Investing in these women not only impacts their immediate families but their communities as well.

Girls with no education are 3x more likely to marry before they turn 18 than those who attend secondary school. Why is it so hard for young women in rural Kenya to stay in school? Child marriage, school expenses, pregnancy stigmas, societal attitudes, and more. #genderequality

[Neema Project @NeemaProject]

No one wants to believe they don't have value. Neema teaches young women in Kenya a trade, provides trauma counseling, and instills the truth that they're loved, bringing dignity to women in the developing world.
