Tiba Foundation Champions of the Boda Girls

Tiba partners with local Kenyan organizations to improve access to health, education & women's empowerment. Tiba champions Matibabu's Boda Girls program.

We partner with local Kenyan health care organizations and provide funding, medical volunteers, and strategic guidance. Boda Girls trains women as motorcycle taxi drivers in rural areas to drive community health, education, and financial empowerment for women. Together, we are empowering and saving lives, and transforming the health care landscape for thousands of locals in rural Kenya.

At Tiba, we believe that equity is the gap between equality and the present tense.

In Kenya, many women lack employment, education, and even the pocket change needed to reach a distant clinic for preventive care. Boda Girls is not just a program that provides free rides to hospitals on women-driven motorcycle taxis—it is a women’s equity program.

Through Boda Girls, women earn and own their motorcycles, step into one of the highest-paying non-professional jobs in their villages, and empower other women by leading, directing, and speaking on behalf of the program. They also give free rides to clinics and provide vital health education along the way.

Many nonprofits have programs for women, but not every program is designed to build equity. Boda Girls changes that.

On this Women’s Equality Day, we celebrate the Boda Girls, knowing that when you lift up a woman, you lift up her family and her entire community. 💚

As Disability Pride Month comes to a close, we hold onto this truth: disability is not a limitation—exclusion is.

At Tiba Foundation, we are proud to support Matibabu Foundation’s disability inclusion efforts in rural Kenya. From home visits and medications to mobility aids and income opportunities, these programs are changing lives—and reshaping mindsets.

Disability Pride Month is more than a celebration. It’s a call to continue building systems where everyone can belong, contribute, and thrive.

Let’s keep going.

Still energized from the launch of our newest Boda Girls site — this time with our incredible partners at MED25 Hospital in Homa Bay County.

This moment represents more than a delivery of motorcycles. It’s a delivery of health access — powered by bold women who are trained to safely transport girls and women to life-saving services like prenatal care, cancer screenings, immunizations, and family planning.

We’re especially grateful for the leadership of Diane Dodge, Executive Director of Tiba Foundation, and Nancy Akeyo, our dedicated Boda Girls Country Advisor. Their unwavering belief in the power of local women is the reason this program continues to grow and thrive.

From the warehouse to the community, from training sessions to real impact — Boda Girls are on the move. And thanks to MED25, the future of health access in Homa Bay just got a whole lot brighter.

07/16/2025

We're celebrating a major milestone: MED25 is now the first official Boda Girls site in Homa Bay County! 🎉

The Boda Girls are more than drivers. They are trained health advocates who safely transport girls and women to essential services like prenatal care, cervical cancer screenings, and vaccinations — free of charge.

In addition to transportation, they’re also leading important menstrual health education in their communities, helping to dispel myths and empower women and girls with accurate information and resources to manage their health with dignity.

In rural Kenya, where a lack of transport or education can prevent someone from getting the care they need, Boda Girls are transforming barriers into bridges.

Congratulations to our partners at MED25 — and to the incredible women powering this work forward. 💖🏍️

Meet another incredible Lucy. She’s a Boda Girl, a trained motorbike driver—and she also lives with a disability.

In rural Kenya, very few women drive boda bodas. Even fewer live with disabilities. But that didn’t stop Lucy from joining the Boda Girls program and learning to give free, safe rides to girls in her community.

Now, Lucy is a role model on the road—redefining what’s possible and showing others that disability does not mean invisibility. Her work provides access to clinics and schools for girls who might otherwise walk for miles.

This is what Disability Pride Month is all about: representation, independence, and leading with purpose.
