Jelida Foundation -JF, Meru (2026)

11/04/2026

As schools close for the holiday season, our children spend more time at home and in the community. This is a crucial period where they become more exposed to different social influences — both positive and negative. As a community, we must be intentional in guiding, protecting, and educating our children so they grow up safe, informed, and empowered.
At Jelida Foundation, we believe that protection begins with awareness and open conversations. We call on parents, guardians, teachers, and community members to take the lead in educating children about critical issues affecting their wellbeing — including Gender-Based Violence (GBV), Female Ge***al Mutilation (FGM), and teenage pregnancy. Talking openly about these issues can prevent harm, restore dignity, and give our children the confidence to speak up and seek help when needed.
Beyond awareness and advocacy, we also support families through sustainable economic empowerment. One of our key initiatives is promoting food security through the sale and installation of affordable growbags. These growbags are ideal for kitchen gardens, small spaces, and families looking to reduce household food expenses. We provide both the growbags and professional installation at pocket-friendly prices, helping families grow their own healthy food with ease.
Together, we can build safer homes, stronger communities, and brighter futures for our children.

🌱 RAISING BOYS, SHAPING TOMORROW’S FATHERS 👦🏽💜
At Jelida Foundation, we believe change must start early — and it must include boys.
Young boys are the fathers, leaders, and protectors of tomorrow, and what they learn today will define the society we live in tomorrow.
By educating boys from an early age on FGM, Gender-Based Violence (GBV), and teenage pregnancy, we are planting values of respect, responsibility, and protection.
A boy who understands these issues grows into a man who stands against harm, respects women and girls, and protects the future of his family and community.
Silence creates ignorance.
Education creates allies.
And informed boys become men who say NO to FGM, NO to GBV, and YES to dignity, equality, and safe childhoods.

🏃🏽‍♀️⚽ SPORTS FOR CHANGE | JELIDA FOUNDATION 💜
At Jelida Foundation, we use sports as a powerful tool to end FGM, GBV, and teenage pregnancy. The playing field becomes a safe space where girls and boys learn discipline, teamwork, confidence, and self-worth — values that protect them from harmful practices.
Through sports, we: • Create safe spaces for open conversations
• Mentor young people on life skills and health
• Challenge harmful cultural norms positively
• Keep children active, focused, and in school
Every game played is a statement: our children deserve protection, dignity, and a better future.
🌱 Support the mission sustainably
We also sell and professionally install growbags at an affordable price. Proceeds help support our community programs and empower families economically.

STANDING FOR DIGNITY. PROTECTING GIRLS. TRANSFORMING COMMUNITIES.
At Jelida Foundation, our work is rooted in one clear truth: harmful practices like FGM, Gender-Based Violence, and teenage pregnancy destroy lives, futures, and dignity. We refuse to be silent. We choose action, awareness, and accountability to protect girls and empower communities to rise above these injustices.
We work closely with families, schools, community leaders, and young people to break deeply rooted cultural silence. Through dialogue, education, and advocacy, we are changing mindsets and building a culture where girls are valued, protected, and given the space to grow, learn, and lead. Ending these vices is not just about laws — it is about collective responsibility.
Empowerment must go hand in hand with protection. That is why Jelida Foundation also supports economic resilience within communities. We sell and professionally install quality growbags at an affordable cost, helping households improve food security, generate income, and reduce vulnerability. When families are stable, girls are safer.
This is a movement for dignity, justice, and sustainable change — and everyone has a role to play.

📚🏫 THE ROLE OF TEACHERS & SCHOOLS IN ENDING FGM, GBV & TEENAGE PREGNANCY 💜✊🏽
Teachers and schools are the first safe spaces where children learn their rights, values, and self-worth. Through guidance, awareness, and protection, educators play a critical role in ending harmful practices that deny children their future.
👩🏽‍🏫👨🏾‍🏫 Teachers help by:
Educating learners on their rights and personal safety
Identifying and reporting cases of FGM, GBV, and abuse
Creating safe spaces for open dialogue and guidance
Mentoring both boys and girls to respect and protect one another
🏫 Schools strengthen the fight by:
Integrating life skills and reproductive health education
Keeping girls in school and focused on their dreams
Working with parents, communities, and organizations to protect children
When schools speak, communities listen.
When teachers act, futures are protected. 🌱✨

At Jelida Foundation, we strongly believe that girls should never be ashamed to talk about issues affecting their bodies, safety, and future. Conversations around FGM, Gender-Based Violence, and teenage pregnancy are not taboo — they are necessary. When these topics are avoided, misinformation spreads, fear grows, and harmful practices continue. Lack of knowledge is one of the biggest reasons these vices persist in our communities.
By creating safe spaces in schools, homes, and communities, girls gain the confidence to ask questions, report abuse, and make informed decisions. Open dialogue empowers them to understand their rights, recognize danger, and seek help early. Parents, teachers, religious leaders, and the community at large all have a responsibility to speak openly, listen without judgment, and guide girls with truth and care. Education and awareness are powerful tools in protecting the girl child and shaping a safer future.

• Creating safe spaces where girls can talk openly about challenges.
• Encouraging education and supporting girls to stay in school.

✨ A HISTORIC BREAKTHROUGH IN THE FIGHT AGAINST FGM — IGEMBE ✨
Jelida Foundation proudly marks a historic milestone as the first FGM-related case officially makes it into a courtroom in Igembe. This is more than a legal process — it is justice in motion, protection for girls, and hope for the community. 💜⚖️
For years, this is exactly what we have advocated for: action backed by the law. Seeing authorities work hand in hand with us reaffirms that collaboration is the strongest weapon in ending this harmful practice. 🤝🔥
🙏🏾 We sincerely thank all the authorities involved for their dedication and commitment. Your efforts send a powerful message that FGM is a crime, not a culture, and it will not be tolerated. 🚫✂️

The matter has been scheduled for hearing on March 16th, marking a crucial step toward accountability and justice.
