Nairobi, Kenya – [July 29. 2025] – Women of Efficacy, a global nonprofit organization based in the United States, dedicated to the advancement of women and girls, is proud to announce a transformative partnership with the Forum for African Women Educationalists (FAWE) – Kenya Chapter. This collaboration will provide full four-year college scholarships for one deserving young woman each year, while also addressing the critical issues of mentorship and menstrual health in underserved communities.

Through this partnership, Women of Efficacy will fully sponsor tuition, room and board, and educational materials for a female student selected by FAWE Kenya. The scholarship will be awarded annually, creating a growing network of empowered women leaders educated through this initiative.

“This is more than just financial support,” said Dr Alisha DaCosta Founder of Women of Efficacy. “We are changing lives investing in the potential, the dreams, and the futures of young women who will go on to change their communities, their countries, and the world.”

In addition to scholarships, Women of Efficacy will also provide:

• Mentorship Programs: Each scholarship recipient will be paired with a global female mentor to guide her through her academic and personal journey. Monthly virtual check-ins, career workshops, and leadership coaching will be provided to ensure ongoing support.
• Menstrual Health and Hygiene Support: Recognizing the barriers menstrual poverty poses to girls’ education, Women of Efficacy will distribute sustainable sanitary napkin kits and provide reproductive health education to girls in FAWE partner schools. These initiatives will help reduce absenteeism and stigma around menstruation.

FAWE Kenya Executive Director [Insert Name] shared, “We are excited to join forces with Women of Efficacy. Their commitment to the holistic development of girls aligns with our mission to empower African girls through education. Together, we will break cycles of poverty and inequality.”

This partnership marks a new chapter in advancing gender equity and educational access across Kenya. By combining FAWE Kenya’s on-the-ground expertise with Women of Efficacy’s global resources and support network, this initiative aims to transform not only individual lives but entire communities.
