The Kibera Project Through Women Innovated Empowered & United

Are there young women in your life who are already making a big impact in the world? This week's episode is a little different as I am chatting with two young women who have identified a problem that, if solved, would impact the health, education, and income of a community in desperate need. Bridget Muturi and Janelly Torres are the co-founders of Women Innovated Empowered & United (WIEU) I invited Bridget and Janelly on the podcast to raise awareness of the problem they've identified and to hopefully raise the money they need to make their work a reality. Being college students, they don't have a PR or communications team and though they've never been on a podcast or done anything like this before they were excited for the opportunity. In this episode Janelly, Bridget and I chatted about... The current conditions for the community living in Kibera, Kenya The high cost of feminine care products and the impact it has on the health of the women in Kibera The solution Bridget and Janelly came up with and what their initiative will look like The design, planning, and collaboration that is happening to make this project sustainable over many years What you can do to support their work Donate to The Kibera Project Venmo: @Bridget-Muturi Cash App: $JanellyT02 Follow along with their adventures Instagram: @w.e.i.u You can also click the link in their bios to donate to The Kibera Project.
