We cannot negate the importance and role of financial freedom and literacy in a people’s ability to lift themselves out of a cycle of poverty. It opens up opportunities for communities to be self-sufficient without the need for FGM. This week we will talk about practical solutions that achieve that very goal.

Transforming Lives in Migori: A New Girls' Dormitory Opens! We recently celebrated the progress made under our Big Dream to End Child Marriage program with the communities we serve in Kuria, Migori County. 😃 Led by World Vision USA's Senior Vice President, Margaret Schuler, and our National Director, Gilbert Kamanga, we celebrated the remarkable efforts of our field team and partners in the fight against child marriage and FGM. 💪🏽 A key highlight of the visit was the commissioning of a brand new 58-bed girls' dormitory at Kombe Mixed Secondary School! This safe haven will provide a secure space for young girls to focus on their education, reducing their vulnerability to child marriage. We continue to drive meaningful change, empowering girls to reach their full potential! #EndChildMarriage #BigDream #WorldVisionKenya
