I set up the organization, LitWorld, to provide every child with knowledge to create their own future of independence.
Now the HerStory Campaign, supported by LitWorld, will hold its 2nd anniversary. Teams of women and girls from communities around the world where we work will come to New York City as HerStory Ambassadors. Together, we will spend the week developing community action plans to make positive changes driven by women and girls in their home communities.
The movement will be a happy one, full of storytelling and arts courses, chances to build new friendships and deepen the HerStory network and connect with other changemakers, as well as visits to famous places in New York City.
One of the student leaders in Kenya, Winnie, is the oldest child in her family and has been caring for her family after her mother died five years ago. Though she has faced many difficulties, being part of the HerStory Campaign for the past two years has given Winnie the courage to go ahead and hope for the future. Winnie started “I Read, I Lead”. In her community, there are few ways to get information about women’s health. She understands that education is powerful and teaches girls to make wise choices for themselves.
Winnie is our future. She is learning and working to make her community in Kenya a better place for herself and others. Her story is just starting, but it is one of strength. Through our work, we are proud to make her voice and her spirit strong.
