JELIDA FOUNDATION | EMPOWERING MOTHERS, TRANSFORMING HOMES
Mothers are the true home keepers — shaping families, guiding values, and raising the next generation. When mothers are equipped with financial literacy, they gain the power to manage their homes sustainably, make informed decisions, and create safe environments for their children.
At the same time, they become strong voices educating their families on ending GBV, preventing teenage pregnancy, and stopping FGM.
At Jelida Foundation, we stand at the forefront of ending these vices, working hand in hand with mothers to build informed, empowered, and protected communities. When mothers rise, families and communities rise with them. 💜

OUR FATHERS MATTER. THEIR VOICES MATTER. THEIR LEADERSHIP MATTERS.
Ending FGM, Gender-Based Violence, and Teenage Pregnancy is not a women-only conversation.
It is a community responsibility — and our fathers play a critical role.
When fathers speak, communities listen.
When fathers stand, harmful traditions begin to fall.
When fathers choose to protect girls, generations are changed.
At Jelida Foundation, we intentionally involve fathers and male elders because:
They are gatekeepers of culture and tradition
They influence decisions at family and community level
Their guidance protects girls from harmful practices
Their support builds safer homes and stronger futures
These conversations are not about blame — they are about responsibility, protection, and love.
A father who says NO to FGM saves a daughter.
A father who stands against GBV restores dignity.
A father who supports education prevents teenage pregnancy.
Change becomes real when fathers are part of the solution.

🌱🤝 EMPOWERING WOMEN CHAMAS FOR SOCIAL CHANGE 🤝🌱
At Jelida Foundation, we work closely with women chamas as powerful drivers of change within the community. By strengthening these groups through sustainable sack farming and economic empowerment, we help women build stable livelihoods while creating trusted spaces for open dialogue and learning.
Within these chamas, we engage women in meaningful conversations on ending Female Ge***al Mutilation (FGM), Gender-Based Violence (GBV), and teenage pregnancy—linking economic independence with informed decision-making and protection of girls.
When women are empowered economically, they gain the confidence and collective voice to challenge harmful practices, protect their daughters, and champion safer, healthier futures.

At Jelida Foundation, we believe lasting change starts within the community — not in isolation, but through shared work, learning, and dialogue.
As we engage with communities across Meru County, we intentionally combine hands-on activities such as sustainable farming and environmental restoration with open, honest conversations about the issues that deeply affect families and future generations.
While working side by side with community members, we create safe and respectful spaces to educate, listen, and discuss the urgent need to end Female Ge***al Mutilation (FGM), Gender-Based Violence (GBV), and teenage pregnancy. These discussions are grounded in real life, culture, and lived experiences, making them more relatable, practical, and impactful.
Our approach recognizes that economic empowerment and social change go hand in hand. By supporting sustainable livelihoods like farming, we reduce vulnerability, strengthen families, and empower communities to protect girls and women from harmful practices. When people are engaged, informed, and economically supported, they are better positioned to challenge traditions that cause harm and to choose healthier, safer alternatives.
Jelida Foundation remains committed to grassroots action, community ownership, and long-term transformation. Together with the community, we are planting seeds—not only in the soil, but in minds and hearts—for a future free from violence and discrimination.

The Role of Religious Institutions in Ending FGM, GBV, and Teenage Pregnancy

Religious institutions are more than places of worship — they are pillars of guidance, trust, and moral authority in our communities. From the pulpit to the pews, faith leaders shape beliefs, values, and daily decisions that affect families and generations.

When religious leaders speak out against Female Ge***al Mutilation (FGM), Gender-Based Violence (GBV), and teenage pregnancy, they challenge harmful cultural norms and replace them with messages of dignity, protection, and respect for life. Faith teaches compassion, justice, and the sanctity of the human body — values that stand firmly against violence and harmful practices.

By opening their doors for dialogue, education, and community engagement, religious institutions create safe spaces where truth can be shared, survivors can be supported, and young people can be guided toward healthier futures. When parents listen to their faith leaders, when youth learn in trusted religious spaces, real change begins.

Ending FGM, GBV, and teenage pregnancy is not just a social responsibility — it is a moral calling. Together, with faith at the center, communities can heal, protect their children, and build a future where every girl and woman lives free from harm.

Jelida Foundation continues to partner with religious institutions to amplify voices, strengthen community awareness, and inspire action for lasting change.

Mentoring Men and Boys: A Key to Ending Harmful Practices

Ending FGM, gender-based violence, and teenage pregnancy is not the responsibility of girls and women alone. Men and boys play a critical role.

At Jelida Foundation, we engage men and boys through mentorship, dialogue, and positive role modeling—guiding them to grow into responsible men who respect women and girls, challenge harmful norms, and stand up against violence.

When boys are mentored early, they learn that strength is shown through respect, protection, and accountability.
When men are empowered with the right knowledge, they become allies for change within families and the wider community.

By mentoring men and boys, we break cycles of harm and build safer, healthier communities for everyone.

Community. Collaboration. Change. 🌱

We were honored to host Riham Ibrahim , serves as a Youth Ambassador with the End FGM European Network and also work with ActionAid Italy as a community expert on preventing FGM
at Jelida Foundation here in Meru County. During her visit, she met and engaged directly with community members, listening to their experiences and standing with them in the shared fight to end FGM, gender-based violence (GBV), and teenage pregnancies.

Riham reached out to commend the work we are doing through our course to end FGM, GBV, and teenage pregnancy, encouraging us to keep going and reminding the community that lasting change happens when we work together. Her words of encouragement and her dedication to protecting the rights and dignity of girls and women strengthened our collective resolve.

We proudly recognize and appreciate the impactful work Riham is doing at local, national, and international levels to end FGM and all forms of violence. Partnerships like these reaffirm that community-led action, supported by global solidarity, truly makes a difference.

✨ Working Together to End FGM, GBV & Teenage Pregnancy ✨

At Jelida Foundation, we are committed to raising awareness and advocating for the protection and empowerment of children in our communities. 💛
Every girl deserves to grow up safe, healthy, and educated, free from:

🔹 Female Ge***al Mutilation (FGM)
🔹 Gender-Based Violence (GBV)
🔹 Teenage Pregnancy

We also believe that boys have a vital role in creating a safer future.
Through guidance, mentorship, and open conversations, we empower boys to grow into responsible, respectful, and compassionate men—men who stand against harmful practices and support the rights and dignity of girls.

FGM has taken too many innocent lives and destroyed too many futures.
We speak out boldly because silence protects the violence.
stands as a reminder of why this work matters and why we must continue raising our voices.

Real change happens when both boys and girls are engaged, educated, and supported.

Together, we work to promote dignity, safety, and equal opportunities for all children.
