MENTORING AND PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT

 RETREAT FOR ADOLESCENT GIRLS

The Resource Center for Women and Girls (RCWG) is a registered Trust based in Machakos Kenya, which works with Adolescent Girls and Young Women from remote rural areas and informal settlements of Kenya. RCWG uses its Mentoring and Empowerment Retreats as a tool to promote personal transformation and development in Young Women and Adolescent Girls, so that they are better equipped to achieve their full potential in all areas of their lives, and thus be competent and knowledgeable agents of change as leaders of NOW and the future. We believe this will help create a generation of fierce Women who are unafraid to speak for themselves and remove the barriers imposed on them by social norms.
