Welcome to Noonkera
We are a Kenyan Community Based Organisation working to address the plight of pastoralist girls in danger of hostile and harmful traditional cultural practice
We focus on rescuing and assisting girls affected or in danger of FGM, child marriage, orphans and girls from very destitute backgrounds
The statistics
In Kenya, 92% of women and 88% of men aged 15–49 believe that FGM should be stopped, yet the practice still continues and is especially prevalent in pastoralist communities.
What drives us?
We envision a society in which the girl child is educated and empowered enough to make her own choices in regards to her personal, financial, economic and political status.
Our project activities involve-
- Lowering infant and child mortality rates
- Increasing number of women with jobs and higher earnings
- Rescuing and assisting girls affected or in danger of FGM
- Rescuing girls from child marriages, those who are orphaned and those from very destitute backgrounds
