When Moureen was a girl, she ran away from home to avoid being married. Today, she’s a So They Can Msomi Scholar alumna, and a mentor to the next generation of girls in Baringo, Kenya.
🎥🌍 On Thursday 26 November, she’ll share her story live, alongside some of the girls So They Can supports through education. They’ll talk about the challenges girls in their community face, what school means to them, and the futures they’re working towards.
It’s a rare opportunity to hear directly from the girls and local team working to end child marriage in Baringo, on the eve of the first International Day for the Elimination of Child, Early and Forced Marriage.

Education is one of the most powerful ways to break the cycle of poverty. 💛
In Kenya and Tanzania, So They Can works alongside communities and governments to give children living in poverty a quality education, from better classrooms and trained teachers to health support and programmes that help families thrive.
Emily Whitehouse from So They Can shares why funding is so important in making this possible.
You can be part of it. Take on Challenge 2 of the Chain Reaction Challenge and help raise the funds that give these kids the chance to learn, grow, and build their own future.

📍 An update on our emergency food appeal
We’ve been overwhelmed by the generous support of our global family, who came together to keep our students fed and in school during this difficult drought.
Together, we raised $50,748, more than double our $20,000 target 👏
$20,000 has provided emergency food parcels to 7 schools in northern Baringo, Kenya, feeding approximately 3,100 students for a month. Students are now back at school, and they’re preparing for their end-of-year exams after missing only 2 weeks of class.
3 generous donors also gave an additional $30,000 ($10,000 each) for long-term water solutions and our Shamba Letu school farm project.
Building sustainable farms in this semi-arid region is enormously challenging, but this support will go a long way towards helping these schools grow more of their own food, even through drought.
Thank you for showing up for these students and their communities. We’ll keep you updated as the water and farm projects get underway.
📸 Until then, here are some photos of the schools receiving the food packages and the students enjoying lunch together.

📣 “A girl child has the right to get education, the same as a boy child.”
That’s the message these learners shared on 11 October, International Day of the Girl, when our Tanzania team brought together students from all 29 program schools to showcase their innovation, talents and skills.
Our guest of honour, Ms. Gertrude Kavishe, Babati District Education Officer, presented gifts to the standout performers and encouraged all of the students to study hard and believe in their dreams.
📸 The posters are in Swahili. The centre one reads: “A girl child has the right to get education, the same as a boy child.”
The one on the left reads: “I need to be protected, so that I can achieve my dreams.”

🌾 Today we’re celebrating the International Day of Rural Women.
Every day we see how farming, saving and business come together through our work with women’s groups in the communities we partner with.
Through our Wezesha Business Skills Project, women’s groups receive business skills training, access to capital, and agricultural training. Now, graduates are becoming mentors to other groups in their villages.
👏 Jacinta runs her own poultry, vegetable and soap business, and mentors 13 women’s groups in Nakuru, Kenya.
👏 In Baringo, Kenya, Grace encourages women to back themselves and claim their space in traditionally patriarchal families.
Here’s to the rural women leading change in their families and communities 💛

👏 Our 2026 Biannual Report is here 👏
A few highlights from January to August 2026:
🎓 112 new teachers graduated from Mamire Teachers’ College in Tanzania with a 100% pass rate. Fully government run since 2022, the college has now trained 1,155 teachers.
🌽 Five schools in Baringo, Kenya, harvested nearly 24,000 kg of maize, keeping 35% for school meals and selling the rest for AUD $20,000 in profit.
👩🏫 24 new teaching interns joined our partner schools in Tanzania, 49 in total this year.
🏫 Kibowen Komen and Milimani Primary Schools in Nakuru, Kenya, will exit our program this year, ready to run independently with their communities and government.
👋 You’ll also hear from Moureen, who was expected to leave school, undergo female genital cutting (FGC) and marry as a child. Instead, she ran away from home to keep learning. In December she graduates as a teacher, and she now mentors girls in Baringo through our 'Ambassadors of Hope' initiative.
📝 And from Daudi – part of Mamire’s very first intake, and now Deputy Head Teacher at Kwaraa Primary School, where he recently helped a struggling student go from barely reading to leading his class.
Read the full report 👉 link in our bio.
A huge thank you to our supporters, partners and the communities we work alongside. Every teacher trained, harvest gathered and girl kept in school reflects our impact together 🤝

This thank-you is for you.
In Kenya, we met children, families and communities whose lives are being touched by the projects our B1G1 community supports.
We saw what small acts of kindness can grow into over the years: education, stronger livelihoods, restored land and new possibilities.
If you have given to the projects we visited, thank you. We wish you could have shared these moments with us.
If your giving supports other programs around the world, thank you too. You are helping this movement grow, bringing more kindness into more lives.
We may never see every ripple of our giving. This journey gave us a beautiful glimpse.
With gratitude to our B1G1 Members, So They Can, The Mango Tree, Kilimanjaro Blind Trust and everyone who joined us on this Study Tour.

🚨 EMERGENCY APPEAL UPDATE 🚨
Food secured for 1,940 students so far. Help us reach 3,100.
We have some good news.
Over the weekend, our Co-Founder and CEO, Cassandra, heard from 2 generous supporters.
If we reach our $20,000 target for emergency food, they’ve each pledged $10,000 to help 7 drought-affected schools in northern Baringo, Kenya, set up long-term water solutions and sustainable school farms.
Thanks to you, we’ve already raised $13,675. We’re just $6,325 away.
Every dollar you give right now feeds a student and helps unlock long-term water and food security for their school.
3 of our Baringo schools already have farms and boreholes, and despite the drought, their students are still eating and still learning.
Emergency food will carry the other 7 schools through until the drought eases, and we’re able to establish the same long-term solutions.
Please give and share 👉 www.sotheycan.org/foodappeal

🔊 “It’s a privilege, because many other girls in my community, they want to go to school, but they are not given the opportunities by their parents.”
Shelia knows that some girls don’t get the opportunity to sit inside the classroom. If she could change one thing, it would be “the mentality that girls are a source of wealth”.
So They Can’s holistic Education Program is helping girls like Sheila overcome the barriers girls face, like period poverty, FGC and child marriage, so they can stay in school, finish their education and break the cycle of poverty.
❗ This International Day of the Girl, please support our Baringo Food Appeal — helping to keep students like Shelia in school during the current drought crisis: sotheycan.org/foodappeal

This International Day of the Girl, girls studying at @sotheycan ‘s partner schools are sharing what they want the world to know 👉
Every year, more than 12 million girls are married before adulthood. That’s roughly one every three seconds. Around the world, period poverty, female gential cutting (FGC) and child marriage keep too many girls out of school.
So They Can’s holistic Education Program helps girls overcome these barriers, so they can stay in school, finish their education and break the cycle of extreme poverty.
This year’s UN theme is ending child marriage and investing in girls’ rights. Educating girls does both.
Stand with girls around the world.

🔊 “A girl from a humble background like me deserves to have equal opportunity just like any other girl.”
This International Day of the Girl, meet Faith, a student at one of our partner schools in Baringo, Kenya.
She wants to be a doctor, and to change the belief in her community that girls must undergo Female Genital Cutting (FGC).
When girls like Faith stay in school, they don’t just change their own futures. They change what their whole community expects of girls.
So They Can’s holistic Education Program helps girls overcome the barriers they face, such as period poverty, FGC and child marriage, so they can finish their education and break the cycle of poverty.
