Dear Friend,
The eldest of seven children, Sabina stopped attending school after the
sixth grade to look after her siblings. One year later, at 12 years old,
she learned that she was going to be married to a man she barely knew.
In northern Kenya, where Sabina is from, it’s common for parents to
arrange marriages for their daughters when financial hardships arise — to
pay for food, livestock and other needs. In fact, one in four girls in
Kenya is married before the age of 18. This reality not only puts their
education on hold, often indefinitely, but it also creates lifelong
barriers to equality for women.
Thanks to the support of people like you, the future
looks more promising for Sabina’s family.

A Mercy Corps initiative in Kenya brings young women and girls together to
receive education on reproductive health, basic reading and math, savings
and loans, livestock management and other critical life skills.
Since joining the group, Sabina has learned how to raise chickens and grow
crops as a means to support her family. This support has been critical for
her during the pandemic, as it no longer feels safe to sell her livestock
at the crowded local market.
Equally as important is the support Sabina receives from other women,
including shared investments in their agricultural ventures. "I love [it]
because there is a lot of development in the group," says Sabina. "Even
the savings we contribute, we do it as a group ... We are united."
The longer girls stay in school, the more opportunities they will have
later in life. That’s why our teams on the ground in more than 40
countries are working to support women and girls so that they can take
charge of their own futures.
