Ricky East African Foundation
Enhance the overall SRHR landscape for young people by increasing awareness, ensuring comprehensive sexuality education, SRHR services, support, and bridging knowledge gaps related to safe sex, menstrual hygiene, family planning, and healthcare. We are empowering young people to become self-sufficient leaders by providing skill development, entrepreneurship, and vocational training


Let’s Empower Women & girls Together
Women and girls are classified among the vulnerable groups. Their vulnerability is caused by factors such as unequal access to education, high poverty rates, unpaid domestic work, and persistent gender stereotypes, among others.
Women face challenges of poverty, which is attributed to factors such as power imbalance between men and women, material resources, Illiteracy, culture, and harmful norms that hinder the realization of their full potential.
The harmful social and gender norms in place fuel patriarchy in different communities, which gives more power to men and boys compared to women and girls.
When it comes to inheritance, properties are often left to males to the disadvantage of females. This stretches to HIV/AIDS-affected households, as recent studies reveal that about 30 percent of widows and orphans are victims of this practice following the death of a spouse/parent.
We are fostering period equality, which involves;
Education and awareness: where we learn about menstrual health, debunk myths, and share accurate information.
Normalize conversations: Encourage open discussions about periods to reduce stigma.
Advocate for access to affordable menstrual products, hygiene facilities, and healthcare.
Challenge period shaming and stigma: Speak out against negative attitudes and stereotypes.
By working together, we can create a more supportive and inclusive environment for everyone.
