Yesterday, on Day 2 of the Mentorship and Leadership Forum, we had the opportunity to teach and discuss various important topics such as Sexual Reproductive Health Rights, Career Guidance and Goal Setting, as well as Leadership and Decision-Making Skills.@JaneMeriwas

[Jackie Shaan @jackie_naami]

We also emphasized the vital role of Indigenous women and girls as stewards of biodiversity and their contributions to climate change mitigation. Young girls actively participated in conservation education and planted indigenous medicinal and ceremonial plants at the Kipsing

Parents play a big role in their daughters' lives, and their involvement ensures they stay connected to the mentorship journey. This connection helps link what the girls learn at the forum to their home lives, providing a supportive environment for their growth and empowerment.✊

Having a very interactive session for both young indigenous adolescent girls and parents present on Day 1 of the Girls Mentorship and Leadership Forum is very important. It creates a strong sense of community, understanding, and shared responsibility.@JaneMeriwas @SamburuWtrust

We need to fix the language on Climate Change and Adaptation so that local communities can understand it better and are able to share their own stories, to counter false and misleading narratives - @JaneMeriwas
