SMALA was pleased to participate in the National Capacity-Building Workshop for Civil Society Organizations and Inter-Faith Actors on African Development Bank (AfDB) Policy Frameworks and the Mission 300 Kenya Energy Compact, held on 27 August 2026 at The Monarch Hotel, Nairobi.

The workshop strengthened our understanding of AfDB financing, Mission 300, clean and decentralized energy, clean cooking, safeguards, and accountability.

We are proud to have been represented by Sabina, a member of the SMALA team, who actively participated in this important dialogue.

As SMALA, we remain committed to learning, engaging, and ensuring that community voices, especially women and girls, are included in Kenya’s energy transition.

This August holiday, SMALA CBO donated jerseys to the Kilonito Football Team as part of our commitment to supporting young people through sports.

Through our partnership with the Kilonito Team, we look forward to using football to help end harmful cultural practices such as FGM, child marriage, and teenage pregnancy. Together, we can inspire boys and young men to become champions for girls’ rights, education, and the protection of every child’s future.

Together, we can create a safer and brighter future for our community.

This term, Strong Maasai Ladies Association (SMALA) reached 600 girls across 3 schools through our School Outreach Program.

We held sessions on sexual and reproductive health, life skills, FGM, child marriage, and teenage pregnancy prevention. Following reports from the Kajiado county government that over 2,000 girls dropped out of school in Kajiado between January and March due to teenage pregnancy, we knew there was an urgent need to act.

As schools closed, we also distributed sanitary towels to help reduce period poverty and support girls to stay in school.

Every girl deserves the opportunity to learn, dream, and succeed.

I am proud that SMALA CBO had the opportunity to represent the Kipeto Energy community at the two-day National Convention on Just Energy Transition in Kenya. It was an honor to ensure that the voices, experiences, and aspirations of our community were part of the national conversation on building an inclusive and equitable energy future.

Together, we continue to champion meaningful community participation, accountability, and a just energy transition that leaves no one behind.

Our Inter-School Girls’ Empowerment Program has reached over 2,000 girls. Every year, learners eagerly participate in school presentations and are inspired by mentors from diverse professions, including lawyers, doctors, and local role models. The program has positively impacted thousands of girls, with visible improvements in confidence, leadership, and the determination to pursue education and achieve their dreams.

A girl who is supported today becomes a woman who transforms tomorrow.

Join SMALA as we mentor girls, keep them in school, and stand against child marriage, FGM, and teenage pregnancy. Together, we can create lasting change.

Many girls in our villages feel forgotten. Some lose hope, while others drop out of school because of teenage pregnancy fgm,child marriage and other challenges.

That is why SMALA is going to schools in our villages to encourage girls, listen to them, and let our mentors share their own life stories. We want every girl to know that she has value, she has a voice, and she can achieve her dreams.

Last week alone, we were able to reach and mentor 200 girls, giving them hope, encouragement, and practical guidance for their future.

We believe we can change this story, one girl at a time.

Join us and be part of the change.

More girls are finding the courage to say no to harmful cultural practices.

We’ll keep doing this work for our girls and for a better society, one girl at a time.
