Who is YAWI?
Young Africa Women Initiative (YAWI) is women rights, women lead and women focused organisation in Kenya. We prioritize the needs and rights of women and girls in everything we do.
Why women: Women face social, cultural, and economic barriers to equality all over the world. Therefore, investing in women leads to a more equal, peaceful, and prosperous world. Women pass on knowledge to neighbors and children, creating a ripple effect for generations.
