UNFPA KENYA - FAITH'S STORY "HER STORY, HER VOICE CAMPAIGN"

During my volunteer work with the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) in Kenya, I encountered Faith Kiraison's distressing narrative. At a tender age of eleven, she fell victim to the devastating practices of child marriage and Female Genital Mutilation (FGM). Motivated by a deep sense of empathy, I created a powerful digital media advocacy campaign titled "Her Story, Her Voice" to shed light on Faith's experience (and the experience of other women) and advocate against these harmful traditions. The campaign videos garnered approximately 10 million impressions across various social media platforms, amplifying the message and creating awareness surrounding these critical issues.

UNFPA KENYA - AISHA'S STORY "HER STORY, HER VOICE CAMPAIGN"

While volunteering for the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) in Kenya, I discovered Aisha's gripping story. Living on Kiwayuu Island with limited access to healthcare, Aisha endured a traumatic childbirth experience, nearly losing her life. Inspired by her resilience, I created a video as part of the "Her Story, Her Voice" digital campaign that I conceptualized, to shed light on her ordeal and advocate for improved maternal healthcare access in remote areas.

As part of the "Her Story, Her Voice" campaign, I produced a video highlighting the experiences of Naomi and Purity, teenage mothers from Kilifi County, Kenya. With 19% of girls aged 15-19 having children in this area, I aimed to address the underlying issues of gender inequality, poverty, gender-based violence, child marriage, and limited opportunities for education and employment. The video aimed to raise awareness about the risks and challenges faced by adolescent girls during pregnancy and childbirth, emphasizing the urgent need for comprehensive support and interventions.
