You might have heard of the term self-care, but do you know what it means? In this episode, we are joined by a girl from PMM Girls in Jinja, Uganda as we explore what self care looks like for girls. She shares different ways in which she takes care of herself and how the #SautiyaDada Program has equipped her.

#SelfCareforGirls

Our mentor fellows are integral to Creative Action Institute’s Work in East Africa. These are chosen young women who have completed our leadership trainings. The mentors work closely with girls in the Sauti Ya Dada Club to support them in understanding their human rights.

Rose, a mentor fellow and a team leader at  Concern for the Girl Child, Uganda joins us this week as she reflects on her experience in the program and the evolution of Sauti ya Dada since its inception in 2020. 

Listen in as she shares what inspires her work with the girls in the #SautiYaDada program.

Do you know about #AuntyNala?

#AuntyNala is Creative Action Institute’s SMS-based learning intervention used to support girls without reliable access to the internet. #AuntyNala sends creative and critical thinking exercises from the Sauti Ya Dada workbook. 
After a two-year break of not having field visits, we were finally able to travel and meet some of the girls in our Sauti ya Dada program. We visited Kalinabiri Secondary School in Kampala Uganda, one of the schools where we are implementing Sauti ya Dada in collaboration with Concern for the Girl Child, Uganda. 
Listen in and learn some of the things the girls have been learning and the role that #AuntyNala has played in their transformation.

What do you understand power as, do you think you are powerful and how can use it to better your community. Listen to a few of Sauti ya Dada girls sharing about Power

This week we asked girls in our Sauti ya Dada program to reflect on the power and potential they have as girls. Some wrote inspiring poems on what it means to be girls  and we have sampled a few for you to listen to in today's show.
