Local Lessons for Global Impact with Faith Doucette | Kenya Connect

Join the Connection Committee in greeting Faith Doucette in this episode of the HundrED ConnectED podcast. Faith's organisation, Kenya Connect, has two innovations in 2025 Global Collection: The Girl Boy Empowerment and Parent Programme, which seeks to establish gender equality and agency in young people, and the Village that Reads, which works to develop literacy throughout the community. Both work in, through, and by the community of Machakos, a rural region two hours outside of Nairobi Kenya. Faith has had a tremendous impact not only in Machakos, but also throughout the world. Along the way, she has gained tremendous insights into how community and parental buy-in can be secured, how to approach education holistically, and how to leverage iterate on small programmes to provide meaningful, durable improvements for quality of life throughout the region.
