Our Approach

Our Approach

Forum for African Women Educationalists – Kenya Chapter (FAWEK)

FAWE Kenya work includes encouraging governments, international organisations and local communities to enact policies and provide positive learning environments that treat girls and boys equally. We use a four-pronged approach to transform girls’ education and to achieve gender equity and equality in education across Africa:

Strategic Objectives

  1. To advocate for policy change and implementation at National and County levels.
  2. To promote girls education as a right by increasing access, improving retention and enhancing performance in education.
  3. To build public awareness and consensus on the social and economic advantages of girls’ education through continued advocacy.
  4. To undertake interventions that demonstrate how to achieve improved access, retention, transition, participation and Completion.
  5. To influence replication and mainstreaming of best practices from previous interventions into broader national education policy and practice.

Supporting Objectives

  1. To create a skilled and vibrant FAWE network with the capacity to deliver the strategic objectives
  2. To cement a strong and productive partnership with like-minded people committed to gender equity and equality in education

Policy Advocacy

We work to influence education policies and practices at national and county levels to ensure they are gender-responsive and inclusive. Through strategic engagement with government, policymakers, and partners, FAWE Kenya advocates for reforms that remove barriers and create opportunities for girls to access, remain, and excel in education. Our goal is to shape policies that promote equity, protect learners’ rights, and enable greater participation of girls in all levels of education.

Community Advocacy

We work to build public awareness of the social and economic value of educating girls, inspiring communities to become active champions of change. FAWE Kenya empowers citizens to take responsibility and collectively support girls’ education, creating a strong foundation for lasting transformation at the grassroots level.

Interventions

We design and implement innovative models that prove it is possible to create environments where girls can enroll, stay in school, and complete their education successfully. FAWE Kenya develops context-specific strategies that address barriers to learning and promote gender-responsive practices, ensuring that every girl has the opportunity to thrive.

Replication and mainstreaming

We champion the adoption and integration of proven innovations that improve girls’ education. By working closely with governments and partners, FAWE Kenya promotes the scaling up of successful models and best practices—ensuring they become part of mainstream education systems. This approach guarantees that impactful solutions reach more schools and communities, creating sustainable change in how girls access and thrive in education.
