Girls for Girls Kenya launched the first Golden Age Cohort in 2024, specifically designed for women aged 45 and above. This cohort was created to address the unique needs of women who are often left out of traditional mentorship programs but have a wealth of experience and valuable insights to share. Many of these women are navigating significant career transitions and require mentorship to help them through these changes. The Golden Age Cohort has been instrumental in empowering these women to redefine their careers and passions, helping them navigate through different phases of their life with renewed energy and purpose. As they approach the final session in March 2025, we eagerly look forward to their graduation and celebrating how this program has transformed their outlook on life, helping them revitalize their ambitions and continue pursuing their passions.
G4G Kenya recently held its first-ever Gala to celebrate five years of empowering women to lead in Kenya. The theme of the Gala, “Sparkle and Shine”, was chosen to highlight the unique brilliance within every woman, encouraging them to embrace and express their best selves. Over 250 G4G mentors attended the Gala, alongside our partners who contributed to the event’s success, including sponsoring mentees to attend. The highlight of the event was the inspiring speeches, particularly the keynote address, which motivated the ladies to always bring the best version of themselves to every challenge. This was the first event that brought together G4G stakeholders in Kenya, including mentees from the Salama Gachie Chapter, fostering collaboration and community.
In 2025, G4G Kenya is focused on expanding its reach to young women in universities and schools. We recently launched our first STEM cohort, bringing together young ladies passionate about STEAM fields. This initiative is aimed at inspiring and empowering them to explore and thrive in these areas. Additionally, we are working to engage more teen girls through our TEENS cohort, with a special focus on fostering collaborations between our mentors and mentors from other G4G chapters. These collaborations will create exciting opportunities for mentorship and networking, particularly through fireside events. We believe these efforts will strengthen our local network while fostering a broader, more inclusive community of women supporting women.
